Pregnancy increases the need for thyroid hormone, and many women with pre-existing hypothyroidism require higher thyroid hormone dosages in the 1st trimester.

We have aimed for a comprehensive study of hypothyroidism and hypertension. With the objectives, highlighting the most developed disorder, complications and risk factors.
