Treatment of Graves Disease in Pregnancy

As you may know the main part of treatment of Graves Disease in US in non-pregnant patients is radioactive Iodine, however in Pregnancy using radioactive Iodine is contraindicated, so surgery is considered the main part.
Attention: If Grave’s Disease is being left untreated, there is a chance of Thyrotoxoicosis due to passage of Thyroid Stimulating Immunoglobin (TSI) across the placenta.
