PURPOSE It has been reported that antithroglobulin (anti-TG) antibody is increased in the sera of both children with transient congenital hypothyroidism and their mothers. And transplacental transport of thyroid autoantibody was proposed as the pathogenesis of transient congenital hypothyroidism. However this is not known in nontransient congenital hypothyroidism. This study was done to see cha...

Though the conclusion about the role of thyroid hormone on ocular parameters is debatable, many studies report...

UNLABELLED The standard treatment of hypothyroidism (central and primary) consists of thyroxine (T4) administration alone. However, the normal thyroid gland produces a small proportion of triiodothyronine (T3) directly into the circulation. AIM We aimed to study the free T3 to free T4 ratio in treated central hypothyroidism compared with euthyroidism and treated primary hypothyroidism. METH...

In the first stage, 30 students were di...

Background: Congenital hypothyroidism is inadequate thyroid hormone production in newborn infants. This can occur because of an anatomic defect in the gland, an inborn error of thyroid metabolism, or iodine deficiency. Thyroid hormone treatment in children with congenital hypothyroidism can prevent intellectual disability. Guidelines recommend that children with congenital hypothyroidism throug...
