Abstract
Thyroid function in uremia has not been studied as extensively in children as it has been in adults. The data available point to a low T3 and T4 syndrome, but it is not clear whether these patients are hypothyroid or not [1–5]. In addition, little is known about free hormone concentration with respect to the various dialytic modalities for this age group of patients. This work was designed to study thyroid function in children undergoing CAPD. The data presented indicate that CAPD does not correct the low T3 and T4 syndrome. In addition, stunted TSH response to TRH is present.
