Hi! My baby(female) is 6 days old and diagnosed with low TSH. The lab test results indicates that she only has 2.03 uIU/ml. The reference the hospital gave us is 2.4 - 40 uIU/ml.
My question is, what is the actual/normal level of TSH for infants? What are the necessary steps to take?
Thank you and best regards...
Does anyone know any information about the infant blood test they do for thyroid?
I have a friend that lost a baby at 6 weeks last year. During her pregnancy she took a turn for the worse and had many hypo symptoms but blamed it on pregnancy and did not get tested. She delivered with a midwife at home and I guess the heel ***** was not succesful so in this case it is not really realevent. But I am getting to something else with this.
Good for you for stopping mama. I don't know the exact timeline- I think the test goes back to about 20 weeks of pregnancy. My best advice is to let your provider know so they are aware of it and they can be on the look out for any complications with the baby. Good luck!
Can you please post the reference ranges that go with those thyroid test results. Ranges vary from lab to lab, plus different measurement units are also used, making it difficult for our Forum members to evaluate without your specific reference ranges.
For many years, GER [Gastroesophageal reflux] during infancy and childhood was thought to be a consequence of absent or diminished LES tone [lower esophageal sphincter, which is sometimes also referred to as the Cardiac Sphincter due to its proximity to the heart]. However, studies have shown that baseline LES pressures are normal in pediatric patients, even in preterm infants.

I doubt it, but why are you using coke while pregnant, it can harm the baby? How long were you using before? We are here for support, hope you do the right thing and don't touch it again, for you and your baby's sake please. I created a health page and ill copy some possible effects from using coke while pregnant.
we don't blood test children for herpes . we don't have fda approved tests that are accurate in them until they are at least 14 years of age ( exception being we still do use herpes igm testing in infants under 1 year ).
once your children are old enough to have "the talk" with them, let them know that hsv1 is the cause of cold sores, 1 out of every 3 people they know has it by their teenage years and to be aware of it.
Furthermore, if health care providers tell you to start B12 therapy, always insist on testing first. Infants and children need a serum B12 and a urinary methylmalonic acid test.
Documentation of a B12 deficiency is critical and test results along with clinical exam will dictate B12 therapy. In addition, the child’s physician should investigate the underlying cause if B12 deficiency is found.
As I have stated before, I am not immunocompromised to my knowledge, and had one HIV test not long ago which was negative. This all has led me to doubt the validity of my test, and YES, I will have it repeated this week. However, in the meantime, I would just like your opnion, - Do you, infact think that it is absolutely obsurd that I would have seb derm as a 22 year old white female?

I can produce a numbert of different opinions what is the appropriate heart rate and so on with exercising. The best method for someone with a heart issue is to have a stress test. A stress test is oftened done for the purpose of learning the degree of tolerance/risk one can safely do. The rule of thumb stated is not recommended for someone who has heart issues. You will be safe to engage in exercising according to METs.
and one other thing if there was something wrong with my heart would it have shown during the stress test?
thankyou for responding, yes had the test reached my target heart rate , but didnt feel like i had exerted myself enough to give my heart a real test, thankfully nothing showed, but wish i had some answers to the chest pain that goes down my left arm, and cardioligist says its nothing, well its not nothing its very disturbing actually
put me on lipitor as bad cholestrol is 7
oh well if i cark it least i know nothing was wrong..
My doctor has ordered a non stress test for me if I go over my due date. I think they just want to make sure that the baby is doing well because the placenta starts to age at the end of pregnancy so they monitor the baby's heart rate for a bit to make sure the baby is getting enough nutrients and oxygen, I think it's routine.
