The association between thyroid dysfunction (TD) and diabetic kidney disease (DKD) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Epidemiological studies have identified an association between thyroid dysfunction (TD) and various kidney diseases. In this study, the prevalence of TD in type 2 diabetic mellitus (T2DM) patients with diabetic kidney disease (DKD) was evaluated to analyse the potential association between TD and DKD in T2DM patients. ⋯ Subclinical hypothyroidism is more prevalent in T2DM patients with DKD than in T2DM patients without DKD. Hypothyroidism is associated with albuminuria and decreased eGFR in T2DM patients.
