Abstract
Thyroid disorders are common endocrine problems encountered in pregnancy. To optimize pregnancy outcomes it is essential to understand the effects and treatments of both hyper- and hypo-thyroidism. Pituitary disease is not uncommon in pregnancy. Other endocrine pathologies are much rarer in pregnancy, often because of high levels of subfertility; they are often associated with significant maternal or fetal morbidity and even mortality if not recognized or treated adequately. This review summarizes the important consequences of thyroid and other endocrine diseases in pregnancy.
