Question
What is the cause of high thyroid hormone levels in infants?
Answer
Your condition may be hyperthyroidism, which refers to an increase in thyroid hormone due to various reasons, including the thyroid itself or factors outside the thyroid, leading to the hormone entering the bloodstream and affecting various tissues and organs throughout the body. This causes an increase in excitability and metabolism in the nervous, endocrine, and digestive systems, among others. It is advisable to undergo T3, T4, and TSH tests, and surgery to remove part of the thyroid tissue may be considered if necessary.
