Introduction: Thyroid hormone (TH) is important for normal growth and function of kidneys [1,2]. Hypothyroidism decreases responsiveness to B-adrenergic stimulation resulting in diminished cardiac contractility, blood pressure, and vasodilator secretion leading to lower renal blood flow [3]. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) can be reduced by up to 40% and a direct relationship between serum creatinine (SCr) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels was elic...
