My 8 m old is under treatment for Hyperinsulinimic hypoglycemia with diazoxide since birth. When i took a second opinion the doctor says T3/4 TSH levels for my 8m old are high although they are within the lab mentioned normal range? are the paediatric reference range different to the normal?
T3 at 179.3 lab normal (60-200) ng/dL vs 8m old level 82.08
T4 at 9.69 lab normal (4.5 - 12.0) µg/dL vs 8m old level 4.645
TSH at 1.43 lab normal (0.30 - 5.5) µIU/mL vs 8m old level 0.398
Based on the above he feels that the baby has to be treated for hyperthyroid. Is this an appropriate conclusion. And could this be the reason for the hyperinsulin levels?
I have tried researching through the internet for any such research but unable to bounce on anything. Any reference website would be greatly appreciated.
