Maternal hyperthyroidism is a rare disorder and the most common cause is Graves Disease. The physiological changes that take place within the body in early pregnancy may alter thyroid function testing and mimic biochemical hyperthyroidism that does not require therapy.

Circulating antibodies can enter the fetal circulation and harm the baby, the anti-thyroid medication itself poses risks for the baby and low levels of thyroid hormone affect the myelination of the brain of the fetus.
