Abstract

SUMMARY In order to study the features of kidney function in patients with hypothyroidism, examined 84 patients with primary hypothyroidism. Of the patients 46 patients had postoperative hypothyroidism in 38--hypothyroidism is autoimmune thyroiditis in the background (AIT). According to our results, in patients with manifest hypothyroidism is present renal dysfunction, which is manifested by increased serum creatinine and a decrease in glomerular filtration rate (GFR),the development and progression of which contributes to the presence of risk factors in patients--hyperlipidemia, excessive body weight and abdominal obesity, which is a pronounced in patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Stated that more meaningful indicators of dyslipidemia associated with major manifestations of abdominal obesity as defined by waist circumference (OT) ((96.58 ± 1.70) and (98.73 ± 3.35) cm) and higher body mass index (BMI).
