While increasing levels of thyroxine may be a risk factor for venous thromboembolism (van Zaane et al. Blood 2010 115(22) 4344–4349), there is a relative lack of detailed data on the effect of thyroid hormones on haemostatic system. We analyzed multiple markers of haemostasis in a cohort of patients shifting from severe hypothyroidism to mild hyperthyroidism during their differentiated thyroid cancer treatment.In 94 patients fol...

Objective: Numerous abnormalities of thyroid hormones in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) have been described. Our aim was to analyze the impact of these abnormalities on survival.Design: In 167 haemodialyzed ESRD patients, TSH and thyroid hormone levels (including reverse T3, i.e. T4, fT4, T3, fT3, rT3) were determined. The patients were then prospectively followed up for up to 5 years and ...
