We describe a girl who presented at the age of 6 weeks with cardiogenic shock due to congenital hypothyroidism (serum thyroxine (T4) less than 12 nmol/l). Thyroxine replacement therapy was instituted. In spite of high total serum T4 levels, thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) serum values remained
We found familial dysalbuminemic hyperthyroxinemia (FDH) in a 5-month-old boy with congenital hypothyroidism (CH) who had a blood thyrotropin (TSH) level of 479 mU/L but normal total serum thyroxine (T4) and higher than normal total triiodothyronine (T3) levels. Thyroid hormone substitution began at
OBJECTIVE
We aimed to evaluate the deformability characteristics of RBC and the affecting factors in newborns diagnosed with congenital hypothyroidism (CH) and to compare the outcomes after the L-thyroxin treatment.
METHODS
Enrolled subjects were divided into two subgroups as "patients" and
The thyroid gland is the only source of thyroid hormone production. Thyroid hormone is essential for growth and development, and is of special importance for the development of the central nervous system. It was for that reason that neonatal screening on congenital hypothyroidism was introduced and
The purpose of this study was to assess possible effects of tri-iodothyronine (T3) on the production of alpha fetoprotein (AFP) and albumin by mouse fetal liver cells. AFP from serum-free conditioned media of TIB73 mouse fetal liver cells was measured by immunoradiometric assay and albumin was
OBJECTIVE
To investigate well-controlled congenital hypothyroidism on the markers associated with early kidney injury and oxidative DNA damage.
METHODS
Twenty-three children with euthyroid congenital hypothyroidism aged 3-6 years and 19 age- and gender-matched controls were enrolled. Serum levels of
In an effort to elucidate the relation, if any, between thyroid abnormality and congenital deafness in Pendred's syndrome, an experiment was designed to study the effects of hypothyroidism on middle and inner ear hearing structures, including the auditory nerve and its central projection, in
A comparative epidemiological and anthropometric survey was conducted among Ibans, the largest indigenous ethnic group in Sarawak, in three regions where the endemicity of goitre exhibited marked differences , to assess the effect of endemic goitre on somatic growth. In the Ai river region the
