Abstract
Introduction- Normal thyroid hormone metabolism, breakdown, and excretion depend heavily on the kidney. We sought to assess the serum thyroid hormone levels in CKD patients in the current investigation because there is little data on the association between thyroid hormone levels and CKD. Methods- This cross-sectional and time bound study was conducted in department of General Medicine and Nephrology in NIMS&R Hospital, Jaipur for 18 months. Results- Number of patients with low serum T3 levels increased proportionately with decreasing eGFR levels. Serum T4 and TSH levels were not signicantly related to worsening renal function. Conclusion- Low T3 syndrome was the commonest and subclinical hypothyroidism was the second most common thyroid abnormality detected. Hypothyroidism and severity of CKD did not correlate with each other.
