Normal thyroxine levels in newborns

The thyroid gland is an important organ in the body. Newborns are not fully developed, so it is even more important to check whether the thyroid hormone level is normal. If your baby shows symptoms such as being afraid of cold and being sluggish, you should pay attention. It may be that the baby's thyroid hormone is not within the normal range. If not treated in time, it will affect the baby's future development and cause short stature. And if you don't get timely treatment, you may have to take medication for life.

① The thyroid gland is a normal gland in the human body that secretes thyroid hormone to meet the normal needs of the human body. Abnormal thyroid function, such as hyperthyroidism and thyroiditis, can cause the exophthalmos problem you mentioned. Generally, with regular treatment, the thyroid function will return to normal, and most exophthalmos can be restored to normal. However, some patients often have residual exophthalmos that cannot be restored even if their thyroid function is normal. Combining treatment with Chinese medicine can have good results.

②Because each hospital uses different testing instruments and test strips, the normal values ​​will be different. In the regulation process of thyroid hormones, there is a negative feedback relationship between TSH and thyroxine. If thyroxine (T3, T4, FT3, FT4) decreases, TSH will increase. The phenomenon that thyroid stimulating hormone increases when thyroxine (T3, T4, FT3, FT4) decreases is consistent with the manifestation of hypothyroidism.

Suggestions:

The specific reasons for high thyroid-stimulating hormone are as follows: 1. Primary hypothyroidism is the main cause of high thyroid-stimulating hormone in women. 2. Whether the body suffers from hypothyroidism. Some women are prone to high levels of thyroid stimulating hormone during pregnancy. 3. When the human body ingests substances such as metallic lithium, thyroid hormone-releasing hormone, potassium iodide, etc., the thyroid-stimulating hormone in the body will increase.

③"The normal value of neonatal thyroid stimulating hormone is determined by the positive value of the neonatal screening laboratory. Some hospitals stipulate that the normal value should be less than 6.8, in order to achieve a higher detection rate and higher sensitivity. If the neonatal screening TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) is greater than 6.8, the patient should be recalled for re-examination. If the re-examination result is still greater than 6.8, the neonatal thyroid function test should be performed. If the test result is positive, the child will receive long-term and reasonable treatment and monitoring after the diagnosis. In clinical practice, in order to prevent false negatives in neonatal screening, blood samples will be taken again to measure thyroid function in low-birth-weight babies two to four weeks after birth or when the weight exceeds 2500 grams."
