Background: Kidney impairment, even if just slightly, would affect the thyroid gland, creating numerous derangements in its function, and this renders dialysis cases more exposed to thyroid problems, with a consequent rise in death rate and morbidities.
Aim of the study: to investigate thyroid abnormalities among Egyptian cases with end stage renal diseases (ESRD) on regular haemodialysis (HD).
patients and Methods: This was cross-sectional observation report, 160 subject were enrolled at Al-Hussein Hospital, Al-Azhar University and National Institute of Nephrology and Urology during the period from June 2021 to December 2021.
Result: There were significant correlation between FT3, TSH and Duration of dialysis, Urea After, Creat After, Hb.
Conclusion: Thyroid dysfunctions are widespread in ESRD cases, particularly those on steady HD, and the most common thyroid disease is subclinical hypothyroidism. Even with euthyroid dialysis patients, hypothyroidism symptoms are common. Owing to the overlay among ESRD signs and hypo-thyroidism, identification of hypothyroidism is challenging, and it is commonly ignored in the ESRD population. Early detection and treatment of hypothyroidism protects the patient's health from deteriorating and increases their chances of survival.
