Patient's question:
Born on September 4th, blood was taken on September 7th, TSH was positive. On September 20th, the report showed 11.6. Then on September 23rd, today's recheck index was 21.852. It was said that the index is high. I don't know if there is a good solution. Tomorrow, I want to go to a professional endocrinology and pediatrics department to check. Is there a good result?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description and thyroid function tests, this consideration is hyperthyroidism, and it cannot be ruled out that thyroid function is reduced. Blood TSH is a reliable indicator for diagnosing congenital hypothyroidism. If neonatal screening shows high TSH, it is necessary to recheck thyroid function to rule out transient hyperthyroidism. After the diagnosis of congenital hypothyroidism is confirmed, early treatment should be initiated to avoid affecting intellectual development. Treatment involves supplementing thyroid hormones, and there is no other method. Further endocrinology outpatient clinic examination or oral medication treatment is required, and thyroid function should be rechecked regularly.
