The patients were divided into four groups: euthyroid group, high\u2010thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) group (SCH), low\u2010free triiodothyronine (FT3) group (with normal levels of TSH and FT4), and high\u2010TSH\u2009+\u2009low\u2010FT3 group (with normal levels of FT4). The clinicopathologic features among the four groups were investigated. We evaluated the risks of abnormal thyroid hormone levels on DN by logistic regression with multivariable adjustments for other risk factors.

Moreover, the levels of estimated glomerular filtration rate (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=0.019), serum creatinine (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=0.014), and severity of glomerular lesions (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=0.003) differed between the euthyroid group and low\u2010FT3 group significantly. There were also significant differences between high\u2010TSH, low\u2010FT3 and high\u2010TSH\u2009+\u2009low\u2010FT3 patients, respectively. Respective correlations between high\u2010TSH, low\u2010FT3 and renal clinicopathologic changes were found to be significant according to logistic regression analyses. Quarterback and eight\u2010point analyses indicated that patients with TSH levels of 4.54\u20135.67\u2009mU\/L had the most severe renal clinicopathologic changes, and the severity of renal changes decreased with increased FT3 levels.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Diabetic nephropathy patients with high\u2010TSH and\/or low\u2010FT3 had more severe proteinuria, renal insufficiency, and glomerular lesions, suggesting that regulating thyroid hormones might have a renoprotective effect.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/nep.13388","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,4,16]],"date-time":"2018-04-16T16:15:35Z","timestamp":1523895335000},"page":"160-169","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Thyroid hormones and diabetic nephropathy: An essential relationship to recognize"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Qianqian","family":"Han","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Nephrology West China Hospital of Sichuan University  Chengdu China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Junlin","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Nephrology West China Hospital of Sichuan University  Chengdu China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yiting","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Nephrology West China Hospital of Sichuan University  Chengdu China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hanyu","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Nephrology West China Hospital of Sichuan University  Chengdu China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rui","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Nephrology West China Hospital of Sichuan University  Chengdu China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ruikun","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Nephrology West China Hospital of Sichuan University  Chengdu China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Li","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Nephrology West China Hospital of Sichuan University  Chengdu China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Geer","family":"Teng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Faculty of Social Development and Western China Development Studies Sichuan University  Chengdu China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jiali","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Nephrology West China Hospital of Sichuan University  Chengdu China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tingli","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Nephrology West China Hospital of Sichuan University  Chengdu China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1121-3004","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fang","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Nephrology West China Hospital of Sichuan University  Chengdu China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/nrneph.2013.146"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMc1602469"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa1310799"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","first-page":"3","article-title":"Evaluation of thyroid dysfunction among type 2 diabetic Punjabi population","volume":"2","author":"Singh G","year":"2011","journal-title":"Adv.
