Zusammenfassung:ObjectiveLow thyroid function may be associated with reduced glomerular filtration rate (GFR). We therefore studied the association of thyroid function with estimated GFR (eGFR) in a population-based study.DesignA cross-sectional, population-based study of 29 480 individuals above 40 years of age, without previously known thyroid disease.MethodsWe calculated geometric mean eGFR and odds ratio (OR) of chronic kidney disease (CKD; eGFR
