Prevalence and Clinical Characteristics of Hypothyroidism in a Population Undergoing Maintenance Hemodialysis

Abstract: Background: The prevalence of hypothyroidism in persons with chronic kidney disease is documented to be higher, compared to the normal population. However, no data is available about the prevalence rate of hypothyroidism among hemodialysis patients in Nepal.

“…Increased thyroid gland volume 1 and an increased prevalence of goiter 2,3 have been observed, potentially related to altered iodine metabolism, autoimmune, and uremic factors. 3,5 Cases of reversible primary hypothyroidism with iodine restriction have been reported in patients with mild to severe renal dysfunction and those receiving maintenance hemodialysis, suggesting that impaired renal excretion of iodine may contribute to the observed association between hypothyroidism and chronic kidney disease (CKD). 3,5 Cases of reversible primary hypothyroidism with iodine restriction have been reported in patients with mild to severe renal dysfunction and those receiving maintenance hemodialysis, suggesting that impaired renal excretion of iodine may contribute to the observed association between hypothyroidism and chronic kidney disease (CKD).…”

“…4 Existing data suggest that primary hypothyroidism is more common in patients with ESRD compared with the general population. 3,5 Cases of reversible primary hypothyroidism with iodine restriction have been reported in patients with mild to severe renal dysfunction and those receiving maintenance hemodialysis, suggesting that impaired renal excretion of iodine may contribute to the observed association between hypothyroidism and chronic kidney disease (CKD). 6,7 These observations are of interest, given that 2 large observational studies reported an inverse graded relation between kidney function and risk of prevalent clinical or subclinical hypothyroidism within the general population 8,9 and among patients with moderate to severe CKD.…”

“…9 A study among HD patients in western Nepal showed the combined prevalence of subclinical and clinical hypothyroidism in 26.6 % patients. 10 Higher rate of thyroid dysfunction in CKD patients as observed in our study may also be due to high prevalence of thyroid autoimmunity in study population, excess iodine nutrition or iodine deficiency, and the inclusion of subjects with non-thyroidal illness. 11,12 We observed decreasing trend for free T3 and free T4 levels (though the decrease were not significant) and increasing trend for TSH level (significant rise) across CKD stages 3-5, which suggest that TSH level increases with the progression of renal impairment (which is indicated by a decrease in GFR).…”
