ABSTRACT

There are several interactions between thyroid and kidney functions in health and disease states. Thyroid hormones affect renal development and physiology. Thyroid hormones have pre-renal and intrinsic renal effects by which they increase the renal blood flow and the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Hyperthyroidism results in increase GFR as well as increased renin-angiotensin-aldosterone activation. This study was carried out to investigate changes in renal tissue and serum immunoglobulin G of hyperthyroid rats.

Twenty male Wistar rats weighing between 180-200g were divided into two groups: control rats and hyperthyroid rats. Animals in group A were given feed and distilled water while animals in group B were treated with 5ug/100g body weight of levothyroxine mixed with distilled water and feed , the administration lasted for 30 days. After the administration, the animals were sacrificed using cervical dislocation, blood and kidneys samples were collected. Serum level and kidney tissue level of thyroid stimulating hormone and immunoglobulin G were measured using enzyme link immunoabsorbent assay (ELISA) method. Serum protein, Lipid profile, Urea and Creatinine level were measured using Spectrophotometry method. Measurement of oxidative stress markers like MDA, SOD and CAT level in blood serum and kidney tissues homogenate were measured using Spectrophotometry and histopathology of the kidney  tissue were also studied using H and E staining.

             The results obtained re-establish the fact that thyroid dysfunctions have significant effect on the renal functions and serum immunoglobulins (especially IgG) as hyperthyroid groups have lower levels of serum immunoglobulin G (25.00±1.71ng/ml) when compared to control groups (45.00±2.33ng/ml) and the level of IgG in kidney is increased in control (175.27±55.85ng/ml) when compared to the hyperthyroid group (601.25±232.25ng/ml) which was significant. The level of TSH is decreased in hyperthyroid group (25.44±2.12mIU/ml) compared to the control group (49.04±7.62mIU/ml) in serum) which was significant (p˂0.05) while the level of TSH is increased in control group (76.00±1.34mIU/ml) compared to the hyperthyroid group (20.20±0.20mIU/ml) in kidney tissue homogenate which was significant (p˂0.05). MDA was significantly increased in hyperthyroid rats in comparison with the control. Histological study revealed lysis of renal cells in hyperthyroid rats.

In Conclusion, the response of the immune system is important in maintaining the intergrity of the renal system during hyperthyroidism.

KEYWORDS: Hyperthyroid, Immunoglobulin G, Creatinine, Urea.
