BACKGROUND AND AIM Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) often have subclinical hypothyroidism. However, few reports have investigated changes in the status of subclinical hypothyroidism in CKD patients and its clinical significance in CKD progression. METHODS We included 168 patients with nondialysis-dependent CKD stages 2-4. The normalization of subclinical hypothyroidism during follow...

backgrounds: thyroid hormones play an important physiological role in human metabolism. erythrocyte abnormalities are frequently associated with thyroid disorder. however, they are rarely investigated and related to the subclinical and primary hypothyroidism in kashmiri patients. in this study an attempt was made to study hematological parameters in untreated and treated subclinical hypothyroid...

 Backgrounds: Thyroid hormones play an important physiological role in human metabolism. Erythrocyte abnormalities are frequently associated with thyroid disorder. However, they are rarely investigated and related to the subclinical and primary hypothyroidism in Kashmiri Patients. In this study an attempt was made to study hematological parameters in untreated and treated subclinical hypothyroi...

CONTEXT/OBJECTIVE Most patients with subclinical hypothyroidism are regularly monitored when treatment is not started. We have studied how interval between follow-up visits and how different T(4) estimates influence diagnostic outcome in a cohort of patients with untreated subclinical hypothyroidism, and studied whether assessment of clinical symptoms and signs aids evaluation of an individual ...

Background & Aims: Since at early pregnancy (<20 week) fetal thyroid gland is undeveloped, normal development of the Fetal brain is highly dependent on maternal thyroid hormones. There are excessive adverse perinatal outcomes associated with overt and subclinical hypothyroidism such as increase of Abortion, preeclampsia, placenta Abruption, LBW, preterm labor, impaired fetal neuropsychological ...

It is well known that respiratory functions are affected at clinical hypothyroidism. Simple spirometry which is a cheap and simple method is performed to the patients with subclinical hypothyroidism in order to determine if respiratory functions are affected or not. Recently diagnosed 87 patients with clinical hypothyroidism, 120 patients with subclinical hypothyroidism and 60 healthy subjects ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of levothyroxine (L-T4) replacement in echocardiographic parameters of middle-aged women with subclinical hypothyroidism (SH). SUBJECTS AND METHODS This was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Echocardiographic evaluation was carried out at baseline and one year after restoration of euthyroidism. Thirty-three women with SH were assigned to o...

Background. Objective electrophysiological methods for investigations of the organ of smell consist in recordings of olfactory cortex responses to specific, time restricted odor stimuli. In hypothyroidism have impaired sense of smell. Material and Methods. Two groups: control of 31 healthy subjects and study group of 21 with hypothyroidism. The inclusion criterion for the study group was the TS...

BACKGROUND Over the last decade there has been enhanced awareness of the appreciable morbidity of thyroid dysfunction, particularly thyroid deficiency. Since treating clinical and subclinical hypothyroidism may reduce adverse obstetric outcomes, it is crucial to identify which interventions are safe and effective. OBJECTIVES To identify interventions used in the management of hypothyroidism a...
