Popis:	Background: Preterm infants may present mildly elevated levels of TSH (MELTSH) that is levels higher than the '“normal” ones (5 mU/L) but lower than the cut off level of congenital hypothyroidism (20 mU/L). It has been suggested that these MELTSH may indicate hypothyroidism requiring treatment even with normal free thyroxine levels. The aim of this study was to determine the rates of MELTSH in preterm neonates at the first six weeks of life and whether this condition is a transient one.
