Patient's question:
Changzhou Maternal and Child Health Hospital Newborn Disease Screening Venous Blood Test Thyroid Function Results FT4 is 19.75 TSH is 6.85 Boy born 30 days Premature by more than one and a half monthsDoctor's answer:
TSH is thyroid-stimulating hormone, and its elevation indicates a decline in the body's thyroid function. However, since the child's FT3 and FT4 levels are normal, it suggests that the thyroid function is still in a compensatory stage and does not require medication intervention or treatment. Otherwise, it may exacerbate the decline in thyroid function.
