      <Abstract>In infants overall growth is a continuous process and it’s depends upon right care, nutrition and metabolism. Metabolism is regulated by many factors and, endocrine system is one of them. Thyroid gland is one of the important glands in endocrine system and dysfunction of this gland may lead to many metabolic disorders. Prevalence of Jaundice is most common metabolic disorder in preterm infants (32-34 gestational weeks) and root cause of many diseases. Keeping this fact, this study is designed to draw the relation between thyroid dysfunction in pre term infants with prevalence of jaundice. Total 200 preterm infants were randomly selected for the study as per consent given by their parents and their treating doctors. Out of which 116 infants were diagnosed with total bilirubin level more than 1mg/dl and selected as respondent for the research work.  3 ml venous blood sample were collected within 42-78 hrs after their birth from Infants having jaundice and estimated for triiodothyronine(T3),tetraidothyronine(T4) and thyroid stimulating hormones (TSH) and compare them with full term (34-36 gestational weeks) infants. Study reveals that 58% preterm infants were high serum bilirubin and out of which 72% were suffering with congenital hypothyroidism as compared to full term infants.It may be because of gestational period of 36 weeks have lower chances of thyroid dysfunction due to their completely matured hypothalamic pituitary thyroid axis (HPT). After statistical analysis of the data obtained, it is concluded that high serum total bilirubin is associated with thyroid gland dysfunction of newborn preterm infants and It is recommended that all the newborn preterm infants must be screened early for thyroid dysfunction.</Abstract>
