Abstract
The study is aimed to look at the prevalence of thyroid disorder in end stage renal disease. The data was collected from the patients reported to dialysis unit, OPD and wards. During the duration of 1 year, 30 patients who had been treated for chronic kidney disease had been followed up. Patients with chronic kidney disease confirmed by imaging and creatinine clearance, patients on hemodialysis were included in this study. Patients on thyroid hormone replacements, anti thyroid drugs, steroid and hormone therapy were excluded.In our observation, 9 patients (30%) had been diagnosed to have hypothyroidism. Among them, clinical features and investigations found out 2 patients with clinical hypothyroidism and 7 patients with subclinical hypothyroidism. No incidence of hyperthyroidism have been observed. In summary, this study finds that hypothyroidism is not unusual in all stages of chronic kidney disorder patients and reveals the significant association between chronic kidney sickness and thyroid disorder.
