Hi all!
I fw to the list to help a couple of LLL collegues here in Italy.
We have recently encountered two cases for which we could find no clear
reference in the literature available to us:
case 1: a mother without thyroid
case 2: a mother without thyroid and parathyroid glands
Do you know:
- with respect to case1, if it is possible to consider it a normal case
of hypothyroidism, or if the complete absence of the thyroid gland has
consequences which cannot be compensated by administration of
levothyroxin. In particular the mother is concerned about calcium
absorption and osteoporosis;
- with respect to case 2, if breastfeeding is at all possible, and above
all, if you know of mothers without parathyroid glands who succesfully
breastfed.
Thank you for your help,
Martina, Micaela and Antonella
