Abstract

Thyroid disorders are particularly common in females of reproductive age group. When pregnancy is associated with alterations in maternal thyroid function, the fetus can be affected. It is important to recognize expected alterations in thyroid hormone levels during pregnancy. The clinician must be able to differentiate normal physiological changes from true thyroid disease; however, hyper- and hypo-thyroidism maybe detected first time during pregnancy. Pregnant patients with pre existing thyroid disorders require close monitoring and adjustment of therapy.(1)
