RE: Re...OK what Now

All

of the following links have lists of references Pat - these should be

sufficient to make the Paediatrician.

http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/120937-overview

http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/925249-overview

http://jcn.sagepub.com/content/15/1/66.abstract

http://www.thyroid-info.com/articles/autoimmune-checklist.htm

This one is a check list you should complete to take to the Paediatrician Pat.

What i really need is references to the effect of

Hashimotos on Children because thats the one thing we need to put under the

nose of this ignorant Peadiatrician

The following are useful :

http://www.childgrowthfoundation.org/pdf_files/Booklets/15_Hypothyroidism.pdf

http://www.childgrowthfoundation.org/ghd.htm The graph at the bottom is useful

here, a child with hypothyroidism will primarily experience lack of vertical

growth.

http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJM198803103181003

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2645400/?tool=pubmed and this

article gives you the thyroid (fT4, fT3 and TSH) ranges in children (as opposed

to using adult ranges!).
