[Uremia and hypothyroidism. Report of a case].
It was diagnosed hypothyroidism in a 53-year-old man with chronic renal failure, with blood urea of 306 mg/dl and serum creatinine of 14.9 mg/dl. At three months of triiodothyronine therapy, the patient became asymptomatic and blood urea and serum creatinine diminished to 49 and 1.1 mg/dl respectively. The possible mechanisms responsible of that reversible uremia of such unusual amount in this hypothyroid patient are discussed.
