Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare thyroid hormones levels before and after exchange transfusion in neonates with indirect hyperbilirubinemia admitted to Quds children hospital, Qazvin, Iran. Methods: This study was performed on 20 neonates with indirect hyperbilirubinemia chosen as candidates for exchange transfusion. The neonates were full term and over 37 gestational weeks. Thyroid hormones levels of neonates and blood bags were measured using ELISA method. In neonates, the thyroid hormones concentrations were measured at 3 different times: before, immediately after, and also 3 days after exchange transfusion. The results were analysed by t test. Findings: The data showed that the mean concentrations of T4 and TSH in neonates blood were higher than in blood bags (P
