Thyroid Function In Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and in Diabetic Nephropathy

Abstract: Failure to recognize the presence of abnormal thyroid hormone levels may be a primary cause of poor management of diabetes mellitus type 2. Therefore there is a need for the routine assay of thyroid hormones in type 2 diabetics and diabetic nephropathy in order to improve the quality of life and reduce the morbidity.

“…21 Further, Prasad et al, 22 reported the 23% prevalence of hypothyroidism and 10% of hyperthyroidism with marked increase in level of TSH among diabetic patients with hypothyroidism with significant change in level of T3, T4 and TSH among cases and controls. 22 The published results from Rai et al, 23 further supported our findings with decreased serum T3 and T4 and increased TSH levels in T2 diabetics without any complications. 24,25 Further support for our findings is found among the recent studies that have shown that diabetic patients with nephropathy may be complicated by primary hypothyroidism.…”

“…A small-scale study has shown that total triiodothyronine (TT3) level is significantly correlated with urine microalbumin levels. Unfortunately, whether or not thyroid hormones are within the normal range remains unclear in this study; FT3 levels also have not been detected [ 19 ]. To the best of our knowledge, our study is the first to demonstrate that low FT3 levels are associated with DN in euthyroid patients with type 2 diabetes.…”
