Comparative Study of Thyroid Abnormalities With Severity of Chronic Renal Failure

Abstract: BACKGROUND:Patients with CRF often have signs & symptoms suggestive of thyroid dysfunctions. Prevalence of hypothyroidism in patients with terminal renal failure is 5%, in comparison with that in hospitalized patients with normal renal function . CKD is associated with higher prevalence of hypothyroidism, both overt and subclinical, but not with hyperthyroidism. In fact, the prevalence of primary hypothyroidism is mainly in the subclinical form, which increases as GFR decreases. OBJECTIVES: To estimate thyroid… Show more

“…Though, the blunted hormone response also suggests disordered function at the hypothalamicpituitary level that can be prompted by uremic toxins. When compared to normal, patients with chronic renal failure have an attenuated rise in TSH levels during the evening hours and the normally pulsatile secretion of TSH is smaller in amplitude (Shamsuddinn, 2015).…”

“…Several investigations of thyroid function in uremic patients have been conducted, with varying outcomes. Various workers have documented hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and euthyroidism [8] . Under physiological settings, glomerular filtration removes iodine from circulation, which is a key component in the creation of thyroid hormone.…”

“…Though, the blunted hormone response also suggests disordered function at the hypothalamic-pituitary level that can be prompted by uremic toxins. When compared to normal, patients with chronic renal failure have an attenuated rise in TSH levels during the evening hours and the normally pulsatile secretion of TSH is smaller in amplitude (Shamsuddinn, 2015). There is considerable clinical overlap between chronic renal failure and hypothyroidism.…”
