Assessment of thyroid function in the preterm and/or very low birth weight newborn
Anales de Pediatría (English Edition)(2021)
摘要
The screening program or early detection of congenital hypothyroidism is one of the greatest advances achieved in Pediatrics. Thyroid hormones are essential for brain development and maturation, which continue into the neonatal stage. Alterations in thyroid function in premature and underweight children in the first months of life causes irreversible damage to the central nervous system and is one of the most frequent and avoidable causes of mental retardation. Diagnosis in the neonatal period is difficult, so it requires an analytical study to be able to carry out the appropriate treatment.
