Abstract
Objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate the thyroid gland function in patients with chronic renal failure and an attempt to find a relationship between chronic renal failure and thyroid dysfunctions.
Subjects & Methods: A total of 96 subjects with age range from 15-67 years old (56 males and 40 females) were included in this study. Total number was divided into two groups according to their number Group A. Study group: (haemodialysis HD) consists of 48 patients and Group B. Control group: consists of 48 subjects. Also they were divided according to gender: Group I: Male (n=56) and Group II: Female (n=40).
Results: T3, T4, TSH, fT3, urea, creatinine, albumin and TSP were measured in each of the two groups. The results revealed statistically significant reduction in the serum level of tT3, fT3 more than tT4 in CRF group in comparison with normal levels in control group while there is no statistically significant difference seen between case and control groups with regard to TSH.
Conclusion: There is a decrease in the serum level of tT3, tT4 and fT3 but the decrease of tT3 and fT3 is more than tT4 in CRF group in comparison with normal levels in control group.
