Hyperthyroidism can be managed in pregnancy.

An understanding of pregnancy-related variations in thyroid function tests is important in making the diagnosis of hyperthyroidism in pregnancy.


Once the diagnosis of hyperthyroidism is made in a pregnant woman, attention should be focused on determining the etiology of the disorder and whether it warrants treatment. Clinical features that may indicate the presence of significant hyperthyroidism include failure to gain weight, heat intolerance, excessive sweating, and tachycardia, beyond that normally associated with pregnancy.
