Abstract

Introduction: An epidemiological shift has occurred in India, where the burden of chronic illnesses is increasing, and communicable diseases are declining. Chronic diseases such as diabetes mellitus, cancer, and chronic respiratory disorders are on the rise, and this trend has been attributed to unhealthy lifestyles, increased urbanization, and changes in society and the environment. Such a category did not include chronic kidney disease (CKD). End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is defined as glomerular filtration rate (GFR) <15> Materials and Methods: The present hospital-based, cross-sectional, observational study was conducted in the a tertiary care teaching hospital in South India from December 2020 to January 2024.
The study comprised 50 patients of CKD between 30 and 70 years of age of both sexes with no previous history of any thyroid dysfunction, while 50 apparently healthy age and sex-matched individuals from the same ethnic population with normal renal function and no past history of thyroid disorders served as a control group.
Result: The results of this study and most others, there is a possibility that abnormal thyroid hormone activity may result in a decline in renal function. Early identification of thyroid illness and its intricate relationship to renal function may be crucial for therapy planning.
Conclusion: The current cross-sectional hospital-based observational study discovered that uremic patients had considerably lower mean TT3 and TT4 and higher mean TSH when compared to healthy controls, regardless of the kind of medication or duration of the disease. Based on the results of this study and most others, there is a possibility that abnormal thyroid hormone activity may result in a decline in renal function. Early identification of thyroid illness and its intricate relationship to renal function may be crucial for therapy planning.
