17month daughter test results help

[Tiredmummyoftwo1982]

My daughter has a thyroglossal cyst and doesn't sleep she's horrendous. We have had her bloods done and I wondered if anyone her would be able to give me an idea of how 'normal' this is

Tsh 1.33

T4 14.2

She's 17months old.

Thanks

Hi Sarah

It is very important to supply the ranges for these tests as child ranges can be very different to adult ones. Thanks

1.33 (0.35 - 5) tsh

14.2 (9.0- 22) t4

I cannot answer your question but you have my sympathies on having such a tiny person to look after but am sure the Endocrinologist will be helpful/supportive. I hope she has been provided with proper pain relief. It is a worry for you but hopefully things will be sorted out soon.

I do not have the experience or knowledge to advise on those results. Can I check, though, that those really are the paediatric ranges appropriate for a 17-month old? Sometimes the age seems to get missed and the standard reference ranges are dished out.

I have no idea if you want to read up or not, but if you do, this paper might be of interest:

I dont think they are correct for a child either..I'm going to contact the surgery. I'm so glad someone else thinks that as well
