Article Synopsis
- Neonatal hyperthyroidism can arise from genetic disorders or high maternal TRAb levels, often linked to maternal Graves' disease, necessitating a study on its prevalence and thyroid function variations in affected newborns.
- An observational cohort study over 13 years tracked 34 neonates, classifying them into categories of hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, or normal thyroid function based on their mother's TRAb levels.
- Findings revealed that 6% had permanent non-autoimmune hyperthyroidism, while most with high TRAb exhibited transient hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, emphasizing the importance of ongoing thyroid monitoring in these infants to improve early detection and reduce health risks.
