According to the Endocrinology and Metabolism Clinics of North America screening for postpartum thyroiditis in first trimester by measuring anti-TPO antibodies should be limited to every high-risk pregnant women with type 1 DM, history of postpartum thyroiditis and any patient with high risk should be followed with TSH levels every 6th and 9th postpartum period.
