Abstract
Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains a universal pandemic that has evolved into a serious public health problem that imposes a significant socioeconomic burden. Thyroid profile is disrupted in CKD patients due to aberrant thyroid hormone metabolism. The purpose of our study was to assess thyroid function in people who had chronic renal disease (CKD).
Materials and Methods: According to the inclusion-exclusion criteria, this cross-sectional observational research enrolled 150 chronic renal disease patients.All patients who met the above criteria underwent a detailed history as well as a general and systemic examination. Thyroid function tests, USG entire abdomen, chest X-ray, ECG, and 2D Echocardiogram, were performed.
Results: There were 84 men and 66 women among the 150 CKD patients. Thyroid hormone abnormalities were found in 93.3 % of the individuals. 14.7 % of the participants had hypothyroidism, 14.7 % had low T3 and T4 readings, 10% had low T4 values alone, 38 % had low T3 only, and 17% had subclinical hypothyroidism. Low T3 levels (58 %) were the most prevalent thyroid anomaly, with or without low T4 or elevated TSH levels. Low T3 levels were more common in patients with advanced CKD.
Conclusion: Thyroid hormone abnormalities are linked to different stages of chronic renal disease.
