Pretransplant Thyroid Findings in Patients With End-Stage Renal Disease.

Objectives: Patients with end-stage renal diseases can display abnormal thyroid gland function due to altered hormone excretion and transport. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the incidence of thyroid diseases by fine-needle aspiration cytology in kidney transplant candidates and to estimate the outcomes of these patients.

Materials And Methods: We reevaluated thyroid fineneedle aspiration biopsies, which were performed between January 2000 and December 2015, of 181 candidates for kidney transplant.
