Thyroid

by Joy2008, Mar 06, 2009 11:21AM

My 3 mos old daughter currently on Synthroid 37.5MCG (1 and half tablets of 25MCG) since birth.  Yesterday lab result comes back with the following reading:-
T4   21.8
TSH less than .01
Free T4   2.07

When she was borned, her TSH reading was 27 plus.  Why her TSH Reading is so low now and her T4 and Free T4 is above the normal range?

Thanks,

Hi there and welcome! It looks like your daughter may be going on the hyper side from too much medicine. I don't know if the ranges are the same for pediatrics or not, but according to adult ranges she is getting too much medicine.
My suggestion is to go to the expert pediatric thyroid forum and leave a message for a doctor to answer.
Good luck and let us know! :)
