Abstract
Introduction. Free triiodothyronine (FT3) is a marker of comorbidity in end-stage renal disease and in many acute and chronic diseases.
There is lack of data about the link between FT3 levels and malnutrition and inflammation in hemodialysis patients. The objective of the present study was to investigate the link between FT3 and malnutrition and inflammation in hemodialysis patients.
Materials and Methods. A total of 100 patients were included in the study. Serum FT3, free T4, TSH, calcium, phosphorus, CRP, serum albumin, Haemoglobin, iron ,iron binding capacity, ESR and serum cholesterol. Were determined and malnutrition-inflammation status was determined by Malnutrition-Inflammation Score (MIS).
RESULT. Our results showed that the mean MIS score was 8.3±5.1 and there were significant negative correlations between MIS and each of BMI, MUAC, Iron, TIBC, Albumin and Hb (p<0.05). significant Positive correlations are also detected between MIS and each of CRP, ESR 1 and ESR 2
(p<0.05). No correlations were noticed between MIS and any of FT3, FT4 and TSH (p>0.05).
CONCLUSION. No correlation were noticed between MIS and any of FT3,FT4 and TSH.
