NEONATAL THYROID STIMULATING HORMONE # (TSH)

This test is performed for newborns to check how well the baby’s thyroid gland is working. It measures the level of TSH to detect conditions like congenital hypothyroidism (an underactive thyroid present at birth). Early detection through this test is important, as untreated thyroid problems can affect a baby’s growth and brain development.
