To read the full abstract: J Clin Endocrinol Metab 2018;103:1459-1469The ESPE guidelines on CH recommend an initial LT4 dose of 10-15 microgram/kg per day1. Infants with severe CH, defined by a very low pretreatment TT4 or FT4 concentration, should be treated with the highest initial dose. However, little is known about long-term effects on developmental and...
