Abstract
Elevated TSH [thyrotropin] levels are highly reliable in predicting neonatal lamb hypothyroidism. The method is not as sensitive as serum TSH measurement, and mild hypothyroidism can exist with normal amniotic fluid thyrotropin and elevated serum TSH.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
