Abstract：Thyroid dysfunction during pregnancy usually presents as hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism. Untreated thyroid dysfunction in pregnancy can lead to multiple maternal and fetal complications and cause adverse pregnancy outcomes.Both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism can increase the risk of preeclampsia. Preeclampsia with abnormal thyroid function makes the disease become more complicated,and increases the risk of poor mother and child prognosis.Therefore,prepregnancy and early pregnancy screening of thyroid function,the use of drug-based therapy to maintain normal levels of thyroid hormone during pregnancy,and strict monitoring are helpful to reduce the risk of preeclampsia during pregnancy,and to improve pregnancy outcomes in preeclampsia patients with thyroid dysfunction.
