ABSTRACT: Background/Objective: Autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITD) affect 2 to 5% of the general population. This study aimed to determine changes in activity of A-Tg and A-TPO antibodies before, during, and after pregnancy in women with previous AITD. Methods: This was a single-center study with a retrospective review of the medical records of 30 female patients aged 25-41 years who came to our endocrinology service in the city of Santo André, state of São Paulo, Brazil, to investigate thyroid diseases. The following data were reviewed: total triiodothyronine (totalT3), total thyroxine (totalT4), free thyroxine (FT4), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), and anti-TSH receptor antibodies (anti-TSH receptor or anti-thyrotropin receptor antibodies (TRAb), anti-thyroid peroxidase (A-TPO), a
