Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is a disorder of thyroid hormone deficiency which develops secondary to incomplete thyroid development or inadequate thyroid hormone production. State-mandated newborn screening throughout the United States has increased the detection rate of CH, allowing for early intervention.

Screening for congenital hypothyroidism
Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism, 1977The development of efficient micromethod assay systems for thyroid hormones and thyroid-stimulating hormone makes possible detection of this condition in the neonate, when clinical signs seldom arouse suspicion. Starting treatment by age three months has been shown to prevent severe intellectual deficit; thus mass screening can be considered cost ...

Congenital Hypothyroidism (CH) is one of the most common preventable causes of mental retardation with a worldwide incidence of 1:4000 live births. Ideally universal screening at 3-4 days of age should be done for detecting CH. Abnormal values on screening (T4 < 6.5 ug/dL, TSH > 20 micro/L) should be confirmed by a venous sample (using age appropriate ...

Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is the commonest preventable cause of mental retardation in human species. It is so important for clinician to know its etiology epidemiology, clinical manifestation and treatment strategies. Since it is one of the rare serious diseases that should not be diagnosed clinically because late clinical features corresponds to ...

Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is defined as thyroid hormone deficiency present at birth. Babies with CH who are not identified and treated promptly develop severe mental retardation. Most of the babies with CH do not manifest the typical known signs and symptoms of hypothyroidism, and this is most likely due to transplacental passage of some maternal ...

The 1980s have seen widespread growth in the screening of newborn infants for congenital hypothyroidism (CH). By 1982 it was estimated that 7‐9 million infants were screened annually.1 There has been further expansion since 1982, not only in communities with highly developed public health programmes, but also in less developed centres.2 Experience from

Congenital hypothyroidism and HLA
Tissue Antigens, 1982HLA‐A, B and C antigens tested in 97 patients treated for congenital hypothyroidism, and in members of their families, are compared with normal frequencies from 635 controls. After adjustment for the number of tests, there remains in the patients only a negative association with A11, with a relative risk of 190, and no significant association in the ...
