Context: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) usually manifest with disorder of thyroid hormone; however, the correlation is unknown. Objective: The study was designed to explore the relationships between CKD and thyroid dysfunction. Design, Setting, and Participants: A total number of 905 non-dialysis participants were collected at Nanjing First Hospital from August 2009 to October 2012 according to the case records system. Patients were grouped via the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) according to the KDIGO guideline. Levels of thyroid hormone and biomarkers in different CKD groups were compared by ANOVA. Prevalence of different thyroid diseases was calculated by χ2 test. Results: We found that FT3 or T3 became more prevalent with increasing eGFR with the lowest level in CKD5 (p < 0.01). No significant differences were found between groups in FT4, T4, or TSH (p > 0.05). Frequency of euthyroid sick syndrome (ESS) in CKD groups was high, especially in CKD stage 5 (69.1%, p < 0.01). eGFR had positive correlation with T3 and FT3 (r = 0.239, p = 0.0001; r = 0.292, p = 0.0001). ESS had correlations with prealbumin, β2-microglobin, eGFR, and C-reactive protein (r = 0.095, p = 0.004; r = –0.12, p = 0.001; r = 0.091, p = 0.007; r = –0.096, p = 0.008; r = 0.154, p = 0.001). After adjustment for prealbumin, uric acid, HbA1c, age, gender, eGFR, and β2-microglobin, binary regression revealed that hemoglobin, C-reactive protein, and albumin were independent influence factors of ESS (p = 0.016, r = 1.014; p = 0.023, r = 1.007; p = 0.029, r = 0.996). Conclusion: CKD patients have a high morbidity of ESS, mainly low T3 syndrome. Anemia, inflammation, and malnutrition may contribute to ESS in CKD.

Background and aims Oral health could potentially be a modifiable risk factor for adverse outcomes in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients transitioning from predialysis treatment to maintenance dialysis and transplantation. We aimed to study the association between an index of radiographically assessed oral health, Panoramic Tomographic Index (PTI), and cardiovascular and all-cause mortality, major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) and episodes of bacteremia and laboratory measurements during a three-year prospective follow-up in CKD stage 4–5 patients not on maintenance dialysis at baseline. Methods Altogether 190 CKD stage 4–5 patients without maintenance dialysis attended panoramic dental radiographs in the beginning of the study. The patients were followed up for three years or until death. MACEs and episodes of bacteremia were recorded during follow-up. Laboratory sampling for C-reactive protein and leukocytes was repeated tri-monthly. Results PTI was not associated with baseline laboratory parameters or C-reactive protein or leukocytes examined as repeated measures through the 3-year follow-up. During follow-up, 22 patients had at least one episode of bacteremia, but only 2 of the bacteremias were considered to be of oral origin. PTI was not associated with incident bacteremia during follow-up. Thirty-six patients died during follow-up including 17 patients due to cardiovascular causes. During follow-up 42 patients were observed with a MACE. PTI was independently associated with all-cause (HR 1.074 95% CI 1.029–1.122, p = 0.001) and cardiovascular (HR 1.105, 95% CI 1.057–1.157, p<0.0001) mortality, as well as, incident MACEs (HR 1.071 95% CI 1.031–1.113, p = 0.0004) in the multivariable Cox models adjusted for age and kidney transplantation or CKD treatment modality during follow-up. Conclusions Radiographically assessed dental health is independently associated with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality and MACEs but not with the incidence of bacteremia in CKD stage 4–5 patients transitioning to maintenance dialysis and renal transplantation during follow-up.

Introduction: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) has been recognised as a worldwide health threat and understanding its complex patho-physiological mechanisms could go a long way in taking care of patients with CKD. One of the most important causes for mortality in End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) patients is Cardiovascular Disease (CVD). ESRD is a low grade chronic inflammatory state, suspected to promote atherosclerosis. Aim: To determine, if there is any association between elevated High-sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP) and development of future cardiovascular events in stage-5 CKD patients. Materials and Methods: Forty-five CKD stage-5 patients were included in the study, after ruling out patients with established CVD. According to categorisation proposed by the American Heart Association for the cut-off value of hs-CRP-value (3 mg/L), patients were divided into two groups. Those who had hs-CRP more than 3 mg/L were considered to have ‘elevated hs-CRP’ and those who had a value 3 mg/L and below were considered to have ‘normal hs-CRP’ levels. These patients were followed-up monthly, for a period of one year to record any occurrence of cardiovascular events (coronary events/cerebrovascular accidents/peripheral occlusive vascular disease). Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 16.0 was used for analysis. Chi-square test and Mann-Whitney U-test were used for statistical comparison between the groups and a p-value of 0.05 or less was considered to be statistically significant. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve was also plotted to determine the cut-off value for hs-CRP based on the occurrence of any cardiovascular event. Results: Baseline hs-CRP level was more than 3 mg/L in 42% of patients. Among those who had elevated hs-CRP, 78.9% of patients developed cardiovascular events during the follow-up period. This signifies a strong association between elevated hs-CRP and CVD in ESRD patients. The hs-CRP cut-off point of 3 mg/L was obtained from ROC curve. Conclusion: There was a significant association between elevated hs-CRP and development of cardiovascular events in ESRD patients. Hence, hs-CRP can be used as a marker of future cardiovascular events in CKD stage-5 patients.

The present study aims at assessing the effects of chronic kidney disease (CKD) on thyroid hormone and leptin by evaluating the level of: leptin hormone along with thyroid hormone in CKD patients. The study has been conducted on  70 subjects, 50 patients with an age range between 20-50 years (25  males and 25 females) who were diagnosed to have CKD stage-5, and 20 normal controls whose ages ranged between 20-48 years (10  males and 10 females), who attended  the Nephrology and Transplant Center in Medical City of Baghdad- Iraq from April  2018  to July  2018. The study showed a highly significant (P<0.01) increase in TSH level in CKD patients in comparison with controls. While T3 and T4 levels observed highly significant decrease (P<0.01) in CKD patients in comparison with their control groups; on the other hand, in Leptin levels, it has been demonstrated a highly significant (P<0.01) increase in CKD patients compared to the controls. Also there was a significant (P<0.05)   positive correlation between TSH and Leptin, while the results showed a highly significant (P<0.01) negative correlation between T3, T4 and Leptin. To conclude, this study confirms that thyroid dysfunction and hyperleptinemia have been found to be very common in CKD patients and reveals the significant association between CKD progression and thyroid dysfunction and hyperleptinemia.

Disturbance of the thyroid function is often detected in patients with different profiles. A special feature of patients with chronic kidney  disease is the higher incidence of various thyroid function  disturbances, especially hypothyroidism. It is known that in patients  with chronic kidney disease (CKD) iodine excretion from the body is  violated, since normally 90% of iodine is excreted in urine.  Accumulation of high concentrations of inorganic iodine leads to the  formation of the Wolf-Chaikoff effect: suppression of iodine  organization in the thyroid gland and disruption of the thyroid  hormones synthesis. Peripheral metabolism of thyroid hormones is  also disturbed, namely, deiodinase type I activity is suppressed and  peripheral conversion of T4 into T3 is inhibited (so-called low T3  syndrome). Therefore, patients with CKD are often diagnosed with  hypothyroidism, and the origin of hypothyroidism is not always  associated with the outcome of autoimmune thyroiditis. The article  presents an overview of a large number of population studies of  thyroid gland dysfunction in patients with CKD, as well as  experimental data specifying the pathogenetic mechanisms of  thyroid dysfunction in patients with CKD. Therapeutic tactics are still  not regulated. However, in a number of studies, replacement therapy with thyroid hormones in patients with CKD had some advantages.

BACKGROUND Chronic kidney disease (CKD) includes a spectrum of different pathophysiology processes associated with abnormal kidney function, and a progressive decline in GFR. Progression of CKD is associated with having a number of complications, including thyroid dysfunction, dyslipidaemia, and cardiovascular diseases. METHODS The present study was conducted among 60 CKD patients (cases) and 60 healthy controls to compare their thyroid and lipid profile, who attended the Department of Medicine in SGRDIMSR, Sri Amritsar from January 2019 to December 2020.These 60 CKD patients were grouped as group A. Group A was further divided into various stages as per KIDGO staging according to GFR. 60 healthy individuals were taken as controls and were kept as Group B. Demographic features (age and sex) and medical history of diabetes mellitus, hypertension were noted and blood samples (5mL) were analysed for blood urea, serum creatinine, free triiodothyronine (T3), free thyroxine (T4), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) and triglycerides. RESULTS Thyroid dysfunction was observed in patients of CKD, the most common being overt hypothyroidism (56.6 %) followed by subclinical hypothyroidism (16.6 %), low T3 (15 %), and hyperthyroidism (1.6 %). Hypercholesterolemia, low HDL, elevated LDL, VLDL and triglyceride levels were observed in 74.9 %, 85.0 %, 38.3 %, 41.6 % and 76.6 % patients, respectively. Patients with CKD with 5 had significantly higher risk of having thyroid dysfunction and dyslipidaemia as compared to patients with stage 3 and 4. CONCLUSIONS Thyroid dysfunction and dyslipidaemia were common in patients with CKD. Prevalence of hypothyroidism, dyslipidaemia increases with progression of CKD. Hence early detection of thyroid dysfunction and dyslipidaemia is imperative to improve mortality and morbidity of CKD patients. KEYWORDS Chronic Kidney Disease, Dyslipidaemia, Thyroid Dysfunction

Abstract Background and Aims The prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in India varies from 0.16–0.78%. The reported incidence of malnutrition in CKD patients is 37–84%. There is a paucity of data on the quantification of malnutrition and inflammation in undialyzed patients of CKD from north east of India. This study analyzed the prevalence and causes of malnutrition and inflammation in patients with CKD before the initiation of dialysis treatment. Method This study was conducted from May 2017 to May 2019 in the department of nephrology Guahati medical college hospital. Assessment of nutritional and inflammatory status was carried out in patients with CKD before initiation of dialysis. Serum albumin; body mass index (BMI); triceps skin fold thickness (TST); mid-arm muscle circumference (MAMC); and subjective global assessment (SGA) scoring were used for assessment of nutritional parameters. Serum C-reactive protein; serum albumin and serum ferritin level were used to assess the inflammatory status in these patients. Results A total of 528 (male:female= 359:169) patients with CKD participated in this study. Diabetic Nephropathy (35%) was the most common; followed by; hypertension (23%) and chronic glomerulonephritis (20 %). The evidence of malnutrition was noted in 344 (65%). The mean age of patients with malnutrition was 52.8±12.45 years with a male predominance (68%). On the basis of SGA score; malnutrition was noted in 344 patients (mild moderate [36%]; severe; [30%]); remaining (34%) were well nourished. Thus; evidence of Malnutrition was noted in 65% of patients with CKD.). Serum total protein & albumin were higher in the non-malnourished patients in comparison to malnourished (5.83±1.0 vs 5.31±1.12 p&lt;0.05; 3.65±0.7 vs 2.62±0.74) The inflammatory markers (serum ferritin & C reactive protein) were elevated significantly in patients with malnutrition in comparison to those without malnutrition (308.15±60.18 mg/dL vs. 251.64±63.14 mg/dL; p &lt; 0.001; 77% vs. 50%; p &lt; 0.01). Conclusion Malnutrition and inflammation are common in patients with CKD before the commencement of dialysis. This indicates that an emphasis should be placed on the assessment and prevention or correction of malnutrition and inflammatory burden in these patients with CKD.

Abstract Background and Aims High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) level is lower in East Asians than in the Western people and its clinical significance needs to be further explored. We aimed to investigate whether hs-CRP could function as a biomarker in Korean CKD patients. Method We studied the association of hs-CRP with adverse clinical outcomes in 2,018 patients from the KoreaN cohort study for Outcome in patients With Chronic Kidney Disease (KNOW-CKD). The primary outcome was a composite of extended major cardiovascular events (MACE) or all-cause mortality. Extended MACE (eMACE) included non-fatal cardiovascular events, symptomatic arrhythmia, and cardiac death. The secondary endpoints were separate outcome of eMACE, all-cause death, and adverse kidney outcome. We also evaluated predictive ability of hs-CRP for the primary outcome. Results The median hs-CRP level was 0.60 mg/L (IQR 0.2-1.7), and the mean eGFR was 53.6 ml/min/1.73 m2. During the mean follow-up of 3.9 years, there were 125 (6.2%) eMACEs and 80 (4.0%) deaths. The primary composite outcome occurred more frequently in patients with higher hs-CRP level than in those with lower hs-CRP level. In multivariable Cox analysis after adjustment of confounders, there was a graded association of hs-CRP with the primary outcome. The HRs (95% CI) for hs-CRP of 1.0 to 2.99, and ≥ 3.0 mg/L were 1.37 (0.89-2.12) and 2.20 (1.36-3.56), compared with hs-CRP of &lt;1.0 mg/L. In analyses of secondary outcomes, this association was consistent for eMACE and all-cause death; however, hs-CRP was not associated with adverse kidney outcomes. Finally, prediction models failed to show improvement of predictive performance of hs-CRP compared to conventional factors. Conclusion In Korean CKD patients, serum hs-CRP level was low and significantly associated with higher risk of eMACEs and mortality. However, a low serum hs-CRP level was not predictive of adverse kidney outcome, and the predictive performance of hs-CRP was not strong.
