Study of inorganic Iodine level in Patients with chronic kidney disease
Wedad Adel Mahmoud Abdo;
Abstract
Inorganic iodine which is vital trace element for thyroid hormone production eliminated mainly by kidneys, its deficiency or excess was found to be associated with structural and functional thyroid gland abnormalities.
Interactions between thyroid and kidney are known for years; Thyroid hormones, which are crucial for regulation of human body’s physiological actions, were found influencing GFR, renal blood flow, tubular secretory and re-absorptive processes as well.
On the other hand, the kidney normally plays an important role in the metabolism, degradation and excretion of thyroid hormones. CKD affects thyroid function in many ways, including low circulating thyroid hormone levels, altered peripheral hormone metabolism, insufficient binding to carrier proteins, reduced tissue thyroid hormone content and altered iodine storage in the thyroid gland.
In our study, we aimed to assess the level of inorganic iodine in patients with chronic kidney disease and to correlate the findings with thyroid function tests and thyroid ultrasound.
Our study was conducted on 60 randomly selected patients with chronic kidney disease from Ain Shams
