The high prevalence of reversible subclinical hypothyroidism with elevated serum thyroglobulin levels in chronic kidney disease patients

We examined the thyroid function of non-dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients in Japan. Serum-free thyroxine, free triiodothyronine, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), and thyroglobulin (Tg) levels were evaluated in 37 CKD patients. CKD was defined as sustained kidney damage for m...

Zusammenfassung:We examined the thyroid function of non-dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients in Japan. Serum-free thyroxine, free triiodothyronine, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), and thyroglobulin (Tg) levels were evaluated in 37 CKD patients. CKD was defined as sustained kidney damage for more than 3 months and was classified as CKD 1+2 (n = 11), 3+4 (n = 10), or 5 (n = 16), which were defined by glomerular filtration rates of ≥ 60, 15 - 59, or
