Association between serum homocysteine and kidney function in hypothyroid patients: A case-control study in Northeast Iran
Background/objectives
The relationship between serum homocysteine (Hcy) and kidney function in hypothyroidism is not fully understood. This case-control study investigated the association of hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) with kidney function tests in patients diagnosed with clinical hypothyroidism (CH).
Methods
Forty-five CH cases and 45 matched controls were recruited from a referral clinic in northeast Iran. Serum Hcy was measured using ELISA technology, and Spearman's correlation coefficients were estimated to assess the association between Hcy and various kidney function parameters.
Results
In CH patients, the average Hcy level was significantly higher than in those with normal thyroid function (22.63 ± 1.21 vs 12.96 ± 0.24 μmol/L, p = 0.001). Among CH patients, 82.2 % had HHcy (60 % mild, 12.2 % moderate), while only 13.3 % of controls had mild HHcy. Hcy levels were positively correlated with TSH (r = 0.528; p = 0.001), eGFR (r = - 0.418; p = 0.004), urea (r = 0.371; p = 0.012), and creatinine (r = 0.384; p = 0.009) in CH patients. Multivariate logistic regression revealed a significant relationship between Hcy and CH [OR = 2.01, 95 % CI: 1.48–2.72, p = 0.001], even after adjusting for kidney parameters.
Conclusions
Serum Hcy was increased with progressive thyroid insufficiency, independent of changes in kidney function, and could be considered a potential risk factor for developing coronary heart disease.
期刊介绍:
Open access, online only, peer-reviewed international journal in the Life Sciences, established in 2014 Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports (BB Reports) publishes original research in all aspects of Biochemistry, Biophysics and related areas like Molecular and Cell Biology. BB Reports welcomes solid though more preliminary, descriptive and small scale results if they have the potential to stimulate and/or contribute to future research, leading to new insights or hypothesis. Primary criteria for acceptance is that the work is original, scientifically and technically sound and provides valuable knowledge to life sciences research. We strongly believe all results deserve to be published and documented for the advancement of science. BB Reports specifically appreciates receiving reports on: Negative results, Replication studies, Reanalysis of previous datasets.
