Can low growth hormone levels affect pediatric thyroid function?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

What does this report mean? The report is of a 10-year-old child. Growth hormone 0.2 ng/ml children (0 to 16).

Kindly suggest.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have seen all the files attached by you (attachment removed to protect patient identity). All the reports are in the normal range except for TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) values which are low.

That means the baby is hyperthyroid. It can happen in many conditions and needs a physical examination of the thyroid gland.

Kindly go to an endocrinologist for further treatment and he will put the baby on antithyroid drugs.

I hope you find this helpful.

Thankyou.
