Özet

Background: The increasing knowledge indicated that borderline hypothyroidism may cause neurodevelopmental disorders. Borderline compensated congenital hypothyroidism could caused by iodine deficiency or iodine overload. One of the most important etiological factors causing prolonged jaundice in the neonatal period is congenital hypothyroidism. Aimed of this study is to investigate the frequency of borderline or overt hypothyroidism in a group of newborn with prolonged physiological jaundice, and to evaluate iodine status of these babies and their mothers.
