Abstract EN
Thyroid hormones play a very important role regulating metabolism, development, protein synthesis, and influencing other hormone functions.
The two main hormones produced by the thyroid are triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4).
These hormones can also have significant impact on kidney disease so it is important to consider the physiological association of thyroid dysfunction in relation to chronic kidney disease (CKD).
CKD has been known to affect the pituitary-thyroid axis and the peripheral metabolism of thyroid hormones.
Low T3 levels are the most common laboratory finding followed by subclinical hypothyroidism in CKD patients.
Hyperthyroidism is usually not associated with CKD but has been known to accelerate it.
One of the most important links between thyroid disorders and CKD is uremia.
Patients who are appropriately treated for thyroid disease have a less chance of developing renal dysfunction.
Clinicians need to be very careful in treating patients with low T3 levels who also have an elevation in TSH, as this can lead to a negative nitrogen balance.
Thus, clinicians should be well educated on the role of thyroid hormones in relation to CKD so that proper treatment can be delivered to the patient.
