The prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is increasing worldwide, reaching epidemic levels. It is known that hyper- and hypofunction of the thyroid gland (TG) can be associated with the development of cardiorenal disorders and lead to a significant worsening of the prognosis in these patients. However, there is evidence that thyroid dysfunction is associated with the development and progression of CKD. The article discusses the issues of epidemiology and pathogenesis of renal dysfunction in patients with thyroid dysfunction. It has been shown that thyroid hormones can have a significant effect on renal function; therefore, it is important to take into account the physiological relationship between thyroid dysfunction and CKD.

Keywords: chronic kidney disease, dyslipidemia, thyroid dysfunction, hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism
