Results: Thyroxine (T 4 ) and tri-iodothyronine (T 3 ) levels showed no difference between the normal pregnancy (9.03 ± 1.18, 1.21 ± 0.3) and pre-eclampsia patients (10.16 ± 1.13, 1.25 ± 0.11), but the thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels in pre-eclampsia patients were increased (7.22 ± 1.3) when compared to normal pregnancy (p = 0.0001).
Conclusion:There was no significant difference in the thyroxine (T 4 ) and tri-iodothyronine (T 3 ) levels in two groups, but there was a significant increase in thyroid stimulating-hormone (TSH) levels in pre-eclampsia patients (7.22 ± 1.3) compared to normal pregnancy (2.48 ± 1.05) (p = 0.0001).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
