Abstract

Background; Thyroid and parathyroid dysfunction in hemodialysis patients is a critical medical
concern that arises due to the intricate relationship between kidney function and these endocrine
glands. Hemodialysis, a life-saving procedure for individuals with kidney failure, often disrupts
the delicate balance of hormones in the body. Thyroid dysfunction, characterized by alterations in
thyroid hormone levels, is common and can lead to fatigue, weight changes, and mood swings. On
the other hand, parathyroid dysfunction involves imbalances in calcium and phosphorus
metabolism, resulting in bone and cardiovascular complications. Monitoring and managing thyroid
and parathyroid health in hemodialysis patients is crucial to improving their overall well-being and
quality of life.
Methodology:
Case-control the study was conducted on 75 patients undergoing hemodialysis and 75 age-matched
healthy controls. Thyroid function tests and serum electrolytes were measured for each group.
Results;
Our results show a significant difference between patients and the control group in each oxidative
stress marker and serum electrolyte level.
Conclusions:
From the results, we could conclude that thyroid and parathyroid dysfunction play a role in
hemodialysis and can affect the management of end-stage renal failure patients.
