Description
Xichang Wang and seven colleagues pool studies on low thyroid function, thyroid hormone treatment, and kidney health, in a review dated twenty twenty-six. The exact links among these were unsettled. The team searched four databases for trials and observational studies in non-pregnant adults with lab-confirmed low thyroid. They compared chronic kidney disease rates and filtration scores across groups.
Forty-six studies were pooled. Both clear and mild low thyroid states linked to near double the odds of chronic kidney disease. Filtration scores were lower in those groups as well. Hormone treatment did not clearly raise filtration scores. The authors call for care that watches the kidneys in thyroid patients.
