Reference ranges for thyrotropin, free thyroxin (FT₄) and free triidothyronine (FT₃) are well known for healthy adults but may not be applicable to younger subjects. The aim of the investigation was to establish our reference intervals for thyrotropin, FT₄ and FT₃ in healthy children using radioisotopic assay techniques and therefore to test for significant differences between the age groups. The samples for thyrotropin, FT₄ and FT₃ were obtained from 242 healthy children (115 females, 127 males) in the age range 1 year to 19 years. Newborns were excluded from the study. The age groups were determined in children completing puberty staging : before and after 12 years for males; and before and after 14 years for females. An overall significant difference was observed between girls and boys for the FT₄ concentration but not for FT₃ and thyrotropin. We found higher FT₄ and FT₃ median values in younger age groups than in older, according to the literature.
