Abstract

The present study was designed to investigate a relationship between total bilirubin levels, Thyroxine and TSH in newborn. Based on the bilirubin levels the study group were grouped as groupI and group II. Thyroxine, TSH and total bilirubin of 70 newborn were estimated. The mean serum levels of Total bilirubin, TSH and T4 in group I were 4.7076±1.91mg/dl, 4.44+2.62mIU/ml and 1.64±0.41 ng/dl respectively. The mean serum level of total bilirubin, TSH and Thyroxine in Group II were 11.5+2.3 mg/dl,4.68+3.08mIU/ml,1.66+ 0.51 ng/dl. The P value of group I bilirubin with TSH was 0.0001and P value of group I bilirubin with Thyroxine was 0.09. P value of group I TSH with group II TSH was 0.02. According to the results of this study there is significant correlation between total bilirubin levels, Thyroxine and TSH in newborn.
