Hyperthyroidism is the dysfunction of thyroid gland which interferes during 2nd and 3rd trimester of pregnancies inducing pre-eclamptic disorder in pregnant women. These disorders may cause deaths as well as morbidity losses in mothers and fetus. These conditions are observed due to imbalance production of T3, T4 and TSH. Hyperthyroidism is highly associated with the onset of pre-eclampsia. Pre-eclampsia is detected by elevated levels of proteinuria as well as systolic and diastolic blood pressures. This study was conceded to discover the influence of hyperthyroidism on pre-eclamptic women of Balochistan. For the purpose, one hundred one (101) pregnant women of 15-50 years of age were selected for this study for comprehensive history, physical and medical examination according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients of different ethnic groups were examined at Out Patient Department (OPD) in Centre for Nuclear Medicine and Radio therapy (CENAR), Sandeman Provincial Hospital and Bolan Medical Complex hospital (BMC), Quetta.

The current study revealed that out of 101 hyperthyroid patients 61.4% and 20.8% patients belong to Pashtoon and Baloch ethnic groups respectively. It was also found that 44 out of 101 patients lie in age group of 26-35 years. It was observed that highly educated, socioeconomic sound women developed less Pre-eclampsia.
