The effect of vitamin D in kidney function and thyroid gland

Abstract EN

This study was aimed to determine the role of vitamin D on renal function and thyroid gland.

Eighty blood samples were collected (20 patients and 20 healthy) of different sex with different ages (28-88) years from Baghdad's hospitals to study the renal function, as well as samples from (20 patients and 20 healthy) of different sex with various ages (12-62) years were collected to study the thyroid gland function.

The blood samples of kidney were tested for urea, creati-nine and vitamin D, whereas other samples tested for Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), Thyroxine (T4), and Tri-iodothyronine (T3), and vitamin D.

The results were shown that 70.4% from renal patients have vitamin D deficiency, whereas 29.6% of a healthy individual also suffering from vitamin D difficult.

Furthermore, the relative risk (RR) was 9.15 of cohort renal patient.

On the other hand, there were weak correlation between gender and age with vitamin D level.

Also, the results reveal that 84.6 % of patient with thyroid were suffering from vitamin D deficient and 15.4 % of healthy individual also suffering from vitamin D deficient, therefor the relative risk (RR) was 2.54 of cohort thyroid patient.

And there were no signifi-cant relationship between gender, age with vitamin D level in patient with thyroid.
