Abstract
The association of hyperthyroidism with hyperemesis in non-molar pregnancies is traditionally called ‘transient hyperthyroidism of hyperemesis gravidarum’ (THHG) and it has been found that biochemical hyperthyroidism was associated with hyperemesis gravidarum in most patients. The etiology of transient hyperthyroidism of hyperemesis gravidarum is unclear. Some have argued that the hyperthyroidism is the cause of the hyperemesis whereas others have argued the reverse. There are also some reports which have demonstrated that serum leptin concentrations were increased in patients with hyperthyroidism. In this study we aimed to investigate the role of leptin which has an important regulating effect on balance of energy and eating habits in the etiology of hyperemesis gravidarum and to reveal the correlation between leptin and thyroid hormones.
