Hypothyroidism Related Kidney Disease - A Report of Two Cases.

Abstract

Dysthyroid state affects kidneys in multiple ways. Hypothyroidism has been described as a cause of renal dysfunction in case reports, and a few large-scale epidemiological studies have shown association of hypothyroidism with abnormalities of renal function parameters. Restoration and improvement in renal functions have also been reported with treatment of hypothyroidism. We highlight two cases where hypothyroidism contributed to renal dysfunction and the treatment of hypothyroidism led to improvement in renal function.
