title: [Hypothyroidism as the cause of lowered blood pressure during hemodialysis].
abstract: We present a case of a 19.5 years old, hemodialyzed, girl with frequent and dramatic episodes of hypotension. She presented slightly expressed symptoms of hypothyroidism, while the serum levels of hTSH, T3, T4 and fT4 were close to the bottom border of norm. The therapy with L-thyroxin (1.75 mg/kg b. w./24h) normalized the arterial blood-pressure and led to subside coexisting symptoms of hypothyroidism.
