Patient's question:
What are the hazards of high thyroid levels in newborns?Doctor's answer:
A little bit higher is not something to worry about, just have regular follow-up tests. If it's significantly higher, it's recommended to go to the hospital for a follow-up examination. Elevated thyroxine levels may be physiological, so have another follow-up test. If it's normal, then there's no problem. Thyroxine levels can sometimes fluctuate, and newborn T3 levels are also slightly higher than the reference range for adults. So you can rest assured.
