Abstract
Objective: To determine the frequency of subclinical hypothyroidism (SH) in women with severe pre-eclampsia (PE).
Methodology: This cross-sectional study used Non-probability purposive sampling and was carried out at Department of obstetrics and gynecology, Lady Willingdon Hospital (LWH) Lahore, Pakistan from December 28, 2013 to June 28, 2014.

The demographic features were noted. Serum TSH & fT4 assay was done by ELIZA technique.
Results: Out of 200 women, 134(67%) were of 18-30 years age and 66(33%) were of age between 31-35 years (Mean age 26.49±5.20). The frequency of SH was 7.5% (n=15).
