Abstract
Women presenting with infertility traditionally have been screened for thyroid function, yet recent guidelines have indicated that this is unnecessary in asymptomatic patients. A retrospective analysis of the results of routine thyroid function screening showed that occult thyroid dysfunction is common: 5.1% of the population studied had abnormal thyroid function tests. Therefore, it is recommended that assessment of thyroid function in women attending an infertility clinic should be continued.
