Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: This study evaluates the prevalence and types of thyroid dysfunction and dyslipidemia in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) at a tertiary care hospital in Ahmedabad. Among 150 patients enrolled between january 2024-january 2025, 38.7% had thyroid dysfunction, with subclinical hypothyroidism being the most common. Dyslipidemia, particularly hypertriglyceridemia and low HDL, was also frequently observed. The prevalence of these abnormalities increased with the severity of CKD. Routine screening of thyroid function and lipid profile may help in early intervention and prevention of cardiovascular complications in CKD patients.
