Thyroid hormone and the kidney.

Katz AI, Emmanouel DS, Lindheimer MD.

Nephron. 1975;15(3-5):223-49. Review.

[abstract only]

"Thyroid hormones affect both renal morphology and function. They are required for kidney growth and development, and thyroid deficiency results in decreased renal plasma flow and glomerular filtration rate and in impaired urinary concentration and dilution. Thyroid hormones also influence membrane transport and electrolyte metabolism, and alterations in mineral metabolism in hyperthyroidism frequently cause calcium nephropathy which affects renal function adversely. The kidney plays an important role in the peripheral metabolism of iodine and thyroid hormones, and thyroid function is altered in certain kidney diseases, particularly chronic renal failure. The pathogenesis of these alterations is currently under active investigation."
