Abstract
BackgroundUnderstanding the relationship of thyroid hormones with the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD) has important clinical implications for managing patients with both thyroid and kidney dysfunction. In this review, our purpose was to provide a thorough comprehension of the interplay between thyroid hormones, thyroid dysfunctions, and CKD.SummaryWhile there is evidence linking thyroid hormone levels to renal diseases, the association between thyroid hormones, specifically within the normal range, and the risk of CKD incidence is still a subject of debate. The Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, were searched using the medical subject heading (MeSH) terms for the relevant keywords up to December 2023.ConclusionBased on the review, the development of CKD is more consistently associated with higher serum TSH and thereafter lower serum free T3 levels; however, its association with free T4 is more controversial. Furthermore, subclinical and overt hypothyroidisms were considerably associated with incident CKD. Hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto thyroiditis might increase the risk of CKD.
