摘要

本研究進行國人兩歲以下正常嬰幼兒的甲狀腺功能測定，其所測定的項目包括血清中三碘甲素(T3)、甲狀腺素(T4)及甲促素(TSH)的濃度。本研究結果顯示：血清中甲促素值於出生後三日內急劇下降；血清中甲狀腺素濃度於出生一週內相當高，而於六至九個月時降學齡前兒童濃度；血清中三碘甲素的濃度則有隨年齡之增大而增加的趨勢。希望本研究所建立的嬰幼兒甲狀腺功能正常值對於國內嬰幼兒甲狀腺疾病患者的診斷及治療有所助益。

This study was undertaken to determine the thyroid function of normal healthy Chinese neonates and infants from birth to 2 years of age. Our results showed that mean serum thyrotropin (TSH) levels decreased steeply in the first 3 days of life. Mean serum thyroxine (T4) concentration was high in the first 7 days of life and it decreased to the level of normal preschool children at 6-9 months of age. On the other hand, there was a tendency for mean serum triiodothyronine (T3) level to increase with age. It is hoped that the establishment of the ranges of the thyroid function study in normal Chinese neonates and infants can help to avoid misdiagnosis and inappropriate therapy of thyroid disorders during this period of life.
