Iodine‐induced non‐autoimmune hypothyroidism in a patient with steroid‐resistant nephrotic syndrome

Abstract

period of oxygen supplementation was found in newborns with TTN. Newborns who needed oxygen supplementation for 20 or 60 days were included in this analysis ( fig. 4b). Can these newborns be diagnosed with TTN? It is possible that these patients developed an additional disease, not TTN alone. The definition of TTN is not always consistent, but it should be precisely defined in order to enable meaningful discussion of study results. Furthermore, we should make efforts to establish a consistent definition of TTN so that all future studies can use the same definition. AcknowledgmentThe authors declare no conflicts of interest.
