Objectives: Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is an inborn thyroid hormone (TH) deficiency mostly caused by disturbances at the thyroid level (thyroidal CH, CH-T). Less frequently, but equally important, CH can be the result of hypothalamic/pituitary dysfunction (central CH, CH-C). Most CH newborn screening (NBS) programs are based on the measurement of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), thereby only detecting CH-T. The Dutch NBS detects CH by measuring total T4 concentrations in...

Introduction: Thyroid disorders are generally diagnosed based on thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) outside the reference interval (RI), and subsequent free thyroxine (FT4) concentrations. Most laboratories do not provide age-specific RIs for TSH and FT4 beyond childhood, although it is known that TSH concentrations vary with age which may be important to take into account. Therefore, we aimed to establish age-specific RIs for TSH and FT4 throughout life using an indirect metho...
