At my request my 13 day old daughter is being tested for hypothyroidism (which I also have). I can't seem to find the reference ranges for blood test results for babies on the internet (on NHS CKS or via good old Google) unfortunately.

Can anyone help me with this please?

Despite me specifically requesting it on Saturday they have not yet tested for thyroid antibodies or T3 - so far only TSH and T4 have been screened...

I think they are similar to the adult ref ranges

I think my baby was checked for TSH, T4 & T3
I don't think they will test for antibodies unless the other results are awry
