Endocrine causes of recurrent pregnancy loss

To review the available data on endocrine disorders and recurrent pregnancy loss.Our group found that most endocrine disorders do not seem to be correlated with a diagnosis of recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). The exception to this is testing for thyroid stimulating hormone and thyroid antibodies, which is recommended due to a strong correlation with recurrent pregnancy loss and positive anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies.The available literature supports testing thyroid function and antibodies in women with RPL. Testing for other endocrine disorders is only warranted if otherwise clinically indicated, independent from a history of recurrent pregnancy loss.
