Abstract
In our study, we aimed to assess the level of inorganic iodine in patients with chronic kidney disease and to correlate the findings with thyroid function tests and thyroid ultrasound.
Our study was conducted on 60 randomly selected patients with chronic kidney disease from Ain Shams University Hospitals, and control group formed of 30 randomly selected healthy volunteers similar in age and sex with the patients group.
Patients group included 39 male patients and 21 female patients. Age of CKD patients ranged from 18-50 years .
We excluded patients with history of thyroid disease, history of frequent de-compensated medical conditions (exacerbations of congestive heart failure or obstructive lung disease, cancer patients), diabetics and patients with history of recent admission in ICU and patients receiving medications including iodine or affecting thyroid function.
