Congenital Hypothyroidism

Congenital hypothyroidism is a critical and relatively common endocrine disorder that affects newborns, resulting from an underactive thyroid gland since birth. This condition occurs when the thyroid gland fails to produce an adequate amount of thyroid hormones, essential for normal growth and development.

Patent Ductus Arteriosus
