Relationship between Subclinical Hypothyroidism and Uremic Pruritis in Hemodialysis Patients.
Background and aim: Uremic pruritus (UP) is one of the most distressing symptoms in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) is a biochemical condition with high prevalence in HD patients. The present multicentric study aimed to assess the relationship between UP and SCH in HD patients.
Methods: The present cross-sectional study included 328 HD patients. All patients were submitted to careful history through clinical examination and standard laboratory assessment. Pruritis was evaluated using the pruritis visual analog scale (VAS). Patients were diagnosed with SCH if they had TSH levels above the upper limit of the normal reference range in association with normal free thyroxine (FT4) levels.
Results: Among the studied patients, there were 196 patients (59.8 %) with UP. Comparison between patients with UP and patients without revealed that patients in the former group had significantly longer HD duration (median (IQR): 47.5 (27.0-72.5) versus 36.0 (23.0-50.5) months, p < 0.001) and lower Kt/v (median (IQR): 1.4 (1.09-1.7) versus 1.54 (1.12-1.91), p = 0.009). Moreover, they had significantly higher ferritin (median (IQR): 653.0 (526.0-800.0) versus 628.0 (470.8- 716.0) ng/mL), hsCRP (median (IQR): 12.0 (8.0-14.0) versus 8.0 (6.0-9.0) mg/dL, p < 0.001) and TSH levels (median (IQR): 4.34 (1.98-5.2) versus 3.34 (1.9-4.85) μIU/ml) with a significantly higher frequency of SCH (45.9 % versus 28.8 %, p = 0.002). Logistic regression analysis identified hemodialysis duration (OR (95%) CI): 1.02 (1.009-1.028), p < 0.001), ferritin levels (OR (95% CI): 1.002 (1.001-1.003), p < 0.001), and SCH (OR (95% CI): 0.54 (0.32-0.89), p = 0.016) as significant predictors of UP.
Conclusion: The present study suggested a possible link between SCH and the development of UP in HD patients.

Aims & Scope
This journal is devoted to timely reviews and original articles of experimental and clinical studies in the field of endocrine, metabolic, and immune disorders. Specific emphasis is placed on humoral and cellular targets for natural, synthetic, and genetically engineered drugs that enhance or impair endocrine, metabolic, and immune parameters and functions. Moreover, the topics related to effects of food components and/or nutraceuticals on the endocrine-metabolic-immune axis and on microbioma composition are welcome.
