Journal Title: IJSR-International Journal Of Scientific Research - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 12
Abstract
Chronic Kidney Disease is a worldwide health problem with an increasing incidence and prevalence. Abnormalities in the structure and function of the thyroid gland and in the metabolism and plasma concentration of thyroid hormones are common in patients with CKD. In view of variability of thyroid profile in CKD patients in previous studies, a prospective study of various thyroid function has been undertaken to establish a correlation if any between thyroid dysfunction and severity of renal diseases . Total number of 50 patients with Chronic Kidney Disease on conservative management fulfilling the criteria for CKD who were admitted in Department of Medicine under nephrology unit, Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar Hospital Raipur (C.G.), during the period of February 2018-March 2018 were selected in this prospective study. The result showed that out of the 50 patients with CKD 29 patients had low T3 syndrome (0.2-2.0ng/ml, mean 0.67) which accounts for 58% of the patients, 12 patients had low T4 syndrome (0.5-8.5μg/ml, mean 5.65) which accounts for 24% of the patients and 4 patients had primary hypothyroidism TSH >20μIU/ml. Excluding Primary Hypothyroidism, analysis of serum T3, T4 and TSH in the study subjects shows very high significance, p < 0.001. Thyroid Dysfunction occurred in 66%% of the patients with chronic kidney disease in our study, it does not indicate a state of hypothyroidism, but a reflection of the state of chronic illness/malnutrition. The low T3 state of CKD can be viewed as being protective, promoting conservation of protein. The number of patients with low T3 syndrome progressively increases with the severity of renal failure.
