Abstract:

Objective To investigate the correlation between serum thyroid hormones and creatinine(Cr) and cystatin C(Cys C) in patients with initial thyroid dysfunction. Methods A total of 368 patients with thyroid dysfunction,including 108 cases of subclinical hypothyroidism,59 cases of hypothyroidism,102 cases of subclinical hyperthyroidism and 99 cases of hyperthyroidism,were enrolled. Totally,270 healthy subjects were enrolled as healthy control group. Serum thyroid-stimulating hormone(TSH),free triiodothyronine(FT3),free thyroxine(FT4),Cr and Cys C levels were determined. Spearman correlation analysis was used to correlation evaluation. Results The level of serum Cr in hyperthyroidism group and serum Cys C levels in subclinical hypothyroidism group and hypothyroidism group were lower than those in healthy control group(P<0.01,P<0.05,P<0.01). Serum Cys C level in hyperthyroidism group was higher than that in healthy control group(P<0.01). Cr was negatively correlated with FT3 and FT4r=-0.082 and -0.119,P<0.05),and it was positively correlated with TSH(r=0.202,P<0.01). Cys C was positively correlated with FT3 and FT4r=0.281 and 0.197,P<0.01),and it was negatively correlated with TSH(r=-0.214,P<0.01). Conclusions Thyroid hormones in patients with thyroid dysfunction,especially in patients with hyperthyroidism,have effects on serum Cys C and Cr levels.
