Abnormal maternal thyroid function during pregnancy is associated with various complications. International guidelines advocate the use of population-based trimester-specific reference ranges for thyroid function tests. When unavailable, an upper TSH limit of 2.5 for the first trimester and 3.0 mU/L for the second and third trimesters is recommended. Although interindividual differences in thyroid function tests can partially be explained by ethnicity, data on the influence of ethnicity on TSH and free T4 reference ranges during pregnancy are sparse.
