Abstract:
Objective To investigate the changes of serum thyroid hormone levels in children with the simple nephrotic syndrome.Methods We measured the serum thyroid hormone levels in a group of simple nephrotic syndrome children (n=20) and a group of healthy controls (n=20) by radioimmunoassay double antibody (RIA-DA), and then compared the differences in serum thyroid hormone levels the 2 groups by a statistical method. Results The thyroid hormone levels in the contorl group were normal, but the serum T3, T4, TSH in the nephrotic syndrome group showed changes of different degrees. They were (1.0±0.5) nmol/L, (15.5±32.4) nmol/L, and (20.2±13.2) mU/L, respectively. There was a significant difference between the simple nephrotic syndrome group and the controls (P<0.01). Conclusions There might be some significance in using serum thyroid hormone levels in children with the simple nephrotic syndrome for the improvement of management, curative effect and evaluation of prognosis.
