AbstractEndocrine disorders, in particular, thyroid disorders, are common in pregnancy. The endocrine adaptation to pregnancy, need for adequate iodine supplementation, and thyroxine replacement are presented. In addition, autoimmune diseases of the thyroid and pituitary that may occur subsequent to the immune changes of pregnancy and the postpartum period are discussed. A brief account of the presentation of other endocrine disorders (ie, pituitary,parathyroid, calcium, adrenal and gonadal disorders) also is given, along with their evaluation and management.
