What Is The Name Of The Test Done For Hormone Levels In Infants?
My granddaughter is a twin her sibling a boy, not sure of the name of test, it was for hormones her results were borderline first test. She is 4 days old ped. re took test, said my law must re test. They were born 1st week of 9th month. What is the name of this test and what could prognosis be?
Hi, Thank you for asking question on health care magic. Most probably the test is a screening test for congenital hypothyroidism. Probably they tested for TSH levels. If the value is more than 20 uiU, retesting is needed after some time. If it is more than 50 uiU, definitely a case of congenital hypothroidism. With proper treatment prognosis is good. Hope this answer will serve your purpose Please feel free to ask any more queries if required Take care Dr.M.V.Subrahmanyam MD;DCH Associate professor of pediatrics
