How can the thyroid affect the kidneys?

When hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism negatively impacts thyroid function, there’s often a knock-on effect on kidney function. This effect can often be seen in the three primary kidney markers in a comprehensive metabolic panel: blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, and eGFR.

Today, I’m sharing how thyroid disorders impact the kidney, what to look out for with the three markers, and why digging deeper into the root cause is crucial.

In this episode, you’ll learn about:
- The three main kidney markers in a comprehensive metabolic panel
- Optimal ranges and significance of blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, and eGFR
- How hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism impact kidney function and each of the three markers



As always, I hope you find this episode valuable, and I look forward to catching you in the next episode!
