Screening for congenital hypothyroidism [PDF]

open access: possibleTrends in Endocrinology & Metabolism, 1977
The 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 ...
