• Resumen

  • Hypertension is a common clinical complication in pregnancy, representing possible short-term and long-term risks of complications for both mothers and babies. Even if in a majority of cases hypertension is essential, possible secondary causes, which can be related to endocrine disorders, must be detected and correctly managed. This review focuses on the evaluation and the management of primary hyperaldosteronism, Cushing syndrome, and pheochromocytoma in pregnancy.
