Abstract
ABSTRACT Background : Subclinical hypothyroidism is highly prevalent in the general populations especially in elderly, however ,the prevalence of subclinical hypothyroidism in persons with chronic kidney disease is not well studied . Design : Cross sectional data from ( 245 ) persons , 110 persons of them considered as a control group and other persons (135 )with chronic kidney disease , all of them were collected from ( 1-9-2010 to 1-7-2011 ) in Al – Hussein teaching hospital ( out patient and inpatient ). All patients and control group were routinely referred for thyroid function tests , renal function test ( in form of plasma creatinine) and estimation of glomerular filtration rate ( GFR ). Multivariable logistic study was used to evaluate the independent association between prevalent subclinical hypothyroidism and estimated GFR . Results : Among ( 245 ) adult participants with serum creatinine , GFR and thyroid function test results , the mean age for both groups were ( 58 ± 4 ) year , 148 male while 97 of those were female. The prevelance of subclinical hypothyroidism increased specially with lower GFR ( in unit of ml / min. / 1.73 m2 ) , occurring in 7.5 % of subject with GFR (60 – 90 ml /min.) while those patients with GFR less than ( 60 ml / min.) the prevalence were increased to 16.5 % ( P < 0.001 ). The control group were 110 persons , only 3 participant with subclinincal hypothyroidism ( 2 % ). A significant difference when we compared patient with chronic kidney disease and control group ( P < 0.001 ).
