Background: Kidneys have a prominent role in the metabolism, degradation and excretion of thyroid hormones. There is an increased prevalence of hypothyroidism in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients as the glomerular ltration rate falls. T Objectives: o study the thyroid function in chronic kidney disease patients and to study the correlation of thyroid dysfunction with respect to staging of CKD. A Materials and Methods: prospective Cross-sectional study was done on 100 patients with Chronic kidney disease who were not on dialysis and fullled all the inclusion criteria at Dr PSIMS & RF. Total and Free T3, T4 and TSH levels were estimated for those patients. Majority of subjects included in our Results: study were in the age group of 60-69 years with male predominance. Out of 100 patients included in our study, 50 patients(50%) were found to have low T3 syndrome; 6 patients (6%) were having hypothyroidism; 44 patients (44%) were having normal thyroid gland function. Most of the patients (n=58) were in stage 5 of Chronic kidney disease. In the present study, as creatinine clearance reduced with each CKD stage, the levels of total T3 and free T4 were also reduced. There is a positive correlation between the Conclusion: severity of CKD and thyroid dysfunction. Hence by studying the incidence of thyroid dysfunction in CKD patients and their subsequent treatment, it may help in slowing the progression of CKD.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
