Thyroid Dysfunction and Renal Function: A Crucial Relationship to Recognize.

Background And Aim: Renal function is noticeably altered in both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. However, clinical studies on thyroid dysfunction and its association with renal function are scarce. The purpose of this study was to evaluate changes in biochemical parameters of renal function in subjects with thyroid dysfunction and to correlate these values with the patient's thyroid profile.

Evaluation of thyroid function and thyroid autoimmune disease in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Aim Of The Study: Evaluation of thyroid function and thyroid autoimmunity in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

Material And Methods: A case control study. Fifty patients with NAFLD and 50 control subjects matched by gender and age were recruited.

Serum Ghrelin Concentration in Patients With Primary Biliary Cirrhosis (PBC).

Introduction: The appetite-modulating hormone ghrelin may have a role in the etiology of anorexia which is a serious concern in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC). This study aims to assess the difference in ghrelin level between cases of PBC and healthy controls matched for age and gender, and to evaluate the level of ghrelin in relation to clinical and laboratory findings among cases.

Methods: Twenty patients with primary biliary cirrhosis and 30 healthy controls matched by gender and age were recruited.
