Thyroid hormones (TH) are essential for an adequate growth and development of the
kidney. Conversely, the kidney is not only an organ for metabolism and elimination of TH …

Thyroid hormones affect both renal morphology and function. They are required for kidney
growth and development, and thyroid deficiency results in decreased renal plasma flow and …

Thyroid hormones influence renal development, kidney hemodynamics, glomerular filtration
rate and sodium and water homeostasis. Hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism affect renal …

Thyroid hormones play a very important role regulating metabolism, development, protein
synthesis, and influencing other hormone functions. The two main hormones produced by …

Thyroid hormones influence renal development, kidney structure, renal hemodynamics,

Chronic renal failure affects thyroid function in multiple ways, including low circulating
thyroid hormone concentration, altered peripheral hormone metabolism, disturbed binding …

There are several interactions between thyroid and kidney functions in each other organ's
disease states. Thyroid hormones affect renal development and physiology. Thyroid …

Thyroid hormones may directly affect the kidney and altered kidney function may also
contribute to thyroid disorders. The renal manifestations of thyroid disorders are based on …
