RAMIREZ-VELA, Rosa María et al. Association between thyroid hormone levels and carotid intima-media thickness in patients with chronic renal insufficiency in dialysis. Rev Med Hered [online]. 2016, vol.27, n.2, pp.75-82. ISSN 1018-130X. http://dx.doi.org/10.20453/rmh.v27i2.2841.
Objectives: To determine the association between thyroid hormone (TH) levels and carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) in patients with chronic renal insufficiency in dyalisis. Methods: 50 adult patients who were on chronic dialysis at Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia hemodialysis center between January and June 2011 were included. Serum levels of total cholesterol, calcium, phosphorus, PTH, albumin, TSH, T4 free, total T3 and reverse T3 were determine. The CIMT was determined using color Doppler sonography. Results: mean age was 55 years; 42% were females; thyroid abnormalities were seen in 50% of patients with sub clinical hypothyroidism the most frequent pattern of abnormality; 56% had CIMT >0.90mm and 50% had atheromatous plaques (>1.5mm).
