Protect Your Newborn’s Development with Early Thyroid Screening
As a parent, nothing matters more than your baby’s health and development. The TSH Ultrasensitive Cord Blood Test provides the earliest possible detection of thyroid function issues, giving you peace of mind during those precious first days. Thyroid hormones are essential for proper brain development and growth in newborns, and early detection can prevent lifelong complications.
Understanding Your Newborn’s Thyroid Health
The Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) test measures the hormone that controls your baby’s thyroid function. Using cord blood collected at birth, our ultrasensitive method provides the most accurate assessment available. This non-invasive approach means no additional discomfort for your newborn while delivering critical health information.
Thyroid issues in newborns can affect brain development, growth, and metabolism. Early detection through cord blood testing allows for immediate intervention, potentially preventing developmental delays and ensuring your child reaches their full potential.
Why Every Newborn Should Have This Test
While all newborns benefit from thyroid screening, certain situations make this test particularly important:
- Family history of thyroid disorders
- Maternal thyroid conditions during pregnancy
- Premature birth or low birth weight
- Multiple births (twins, triplets)
- Previous children with developmental concerns
Many thyroid conditions show no immediate symptoms in newborns, making screening essential rather than waiting for problems to appear.
Peace of Mind for Your Family’s Future
Early thyroid screening offers invaluable benefits for your child’s development:
- Prevent Developmental Delays: Early treatment can prevent cognitive and growth issues
- Ensure Proper Brain Development: Thyroid hormones are crucial for neurological development
