Abstract :

Introduction: The role of thyroid gland in pregnancy and the impact of thyroid disorders on the course of pregnancy and development of offsprings have drawn a considerable interest in the recent years. Hypothyroidism has been listed as one of the causes of high blood pressure. Pre-eclampsia is more frequently associated with elevated TSH. Methods: A total of 100 singelton pregnant women were enrolled, Out of which 50 hypertensive women as test and 50 normotensive women as control. Result: The mean value of TSH was significantly higher in hypertensive women as compared to normotensive women. In this study no significant difference was found between FT3 and FT4 in control and test group. Conclusion: We observed that gestational hypertension is associated with decreased activity of thyroid hormones. And there is significant positive correlation between SBP & TSH and between DBP & TSH.
