摘要
The thyroid function of seven children with untreated nephrotic syndrome who had a normal serum creatinine concentration was compared with that of the same patients in remission and age-matched controls. There was a significant decrease in serum thyroxine (T-4), tri-iodothyronine (T-3) and thyroid-binding globulin (TBG) concentrations in untreated nephrotic children compared with the same patients in remission and age-matched controls. Most values for serum free T-4, free T-3 and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) in the patients with nephrosis were within the normal range. However, the mean serum free T-4 and free T-3 concentrations were significantly (P < 0.05) lower in the untreated patients than in the same patients in remission, and the mean serum TSH concentrations were significantly (P < 0.05) higher in the untreated patients than in the same patients in remission. There were massive urinary losses of T-4, T-3, TBG, free T-4 and free T-3 in the untreated nephrotic children compared with the same patients in remission and age-matched controls. The daily urinary protein excretion showed a positive correlation with the urinary T-4, T-3, free T-4, free T-3 and TBG excretion. Furthermore, the urinary protein excretion showed a negative correlation with the serum T-4, T-3, free T-4, free T-3 and TBG levels. There was a negative correlation between serum albumin and serum TSH. These findings provide evidence of mild hypothyroidism in children with untreated nephrotic syndrome, partly because of losses of T-4, T-3, free T-4, free T-3 and TBG into the urine.
