Abstract
SUMMARY
C
hronic kidney disease results in complex endocrine and metabolic alteration including throid dysfunction.There are many mechanisms explaining the link between thyroid and kidney disease, both of them affect each other, plus both consider as an independent factor for cardiovascular disease.
Functional thyroid gland disorders are more common among renal transplant patients compared with healthy subjects.
Aim of this study was to assess the level of inorganic iodine in renal transplant recipients and its possible relation to thyroid function tests and thyroid ultrasound.
Our study was conduced on 50 renal transplant recepients from Dar Elshefaa hospital and 30 healthy controls matched in age and sex with cases.
We excluded patient with history of thyroid disease, current acute illness (including infections), history of frequent de-compensated medical conditions (exacerbations of congestive heart failure or obstructive lung disease, cancer patients), patients with history of recent admission in ICU and patients receiving medications including iodine: e.g. amiadarone, cough medications, beta blockers and recent administration of IV con
