An infant was evaluated for a low thyroxine value, detected on routine neonatal screening for congenital hypothyroidism. She was found to have the congenital nephrotic syndrome, and to be euthyroid with low thyroid binding globulin. Congenital nephrosis can be detected by neonatal screening programs which use thyroxine as the primary screening test, but not by those which use TSH. This may be important in those countries in which the incidence of congenital nephrosis approaches that of congenital hypothyroidism.
一名婴儿在先天性甲状腺功能减退症的常规新生儿筛查中被检测出甲状腺素值较低，因此接受了评估。她被诊断患有先天性肾病综合征，甲状腺功能正常但甲状腺结合球蛋白水平较低。先天性肾病可以通过以甲状腺素作为主要筛查指标的新生儿筛查项目检测出来，但不能通过以促甲状腺激素作为筛查指标的项目检测出来。在先天性肾病发病率接近先天性甲状腺功能减退症发病率的国家，这一点可能很重要。
