Thyroid abnormalities among Egyptian Patients with end stage Renal Disease on Regular Hemodialysis

Abstract

Background: Kidney impairment, even if just slightly, would affect the thyroid gland, creating numerous derangements in its function, and this renders dialysis cases more exposed to thyroid problems, with a consequent rise in death rate and morbidities. Aim of the study: We aimed to investigate thyroid abnormalities among Egyptian cases with end stage renal diseases (ESRD) on regular haemodialysis (HD).
