Abstract
Abstract: Thyroid hormones, triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxin (T4) play an important role in growth, development, and physiology of the kidney. The kidney has a central role in metabolism and clearance of these hormones as well as thyroid – stimulating hormone (TSH). Chronic renal failure (CRF) is a state of irreversible deceleration in renal function results in alterations in internal milieu, which affects the synthesis and secretory rate of hormones. To evaluate the thyroid hormone levels in non-dialyzed patients with chronic renal failure (CRF); 24 patients with CRF aged 30-70 years, mean±S.d. (48.458 ± 13.569) and 48 healthy volunteers who served as controls aged 30-70 years (43.104 ± 12.387) were studied for their thyroid function status using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). The study showed significant increase (p<0.05) in the serum triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxin (T4) and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels in 25%, 20%, and 25% of CRF patients respectively as compared to the healthy groups; while 75% of CRF patients showed non significant low levels (p>0.05) for both T3 and TSH and 80% for T4. Also there was a high positive relation between TSH, T3, T4 levels respectively with both age and gender of chronic renal failure patients. The results suggest that patients with CRF have a state of thyroid dysfunction.
