Patients Methods: This was cross sectional study, which conducted on 91 admitted at Hemodialysis Units Zagazig University Hospitals Fakous General Hospital. Blood samples had been obtained before initiation HD session after an 8 hours fasting, blood measurements included: Serum urea, creatinine, TSH, T3, FT3 FT4. Results: study showed that, 56%. There statistically significant difference without regarding age, duration hemodialysis. no T4, TSH. serum creatinine. Conclusion: concluded high malnutrition-inflammation dialysis.
