From: Effect of withdrawal of thyroid hormones versus administration of recombinant human thyroid-stimulating hormone on renal function in thyroid cancer patients

Figure 1

Effects of THW or rhTSH administration on renal parameters. (a) The Cr level was significantly higher after THW than before thyroidectomy (p < 0.001). However, there was no significant difference in the Cr level after rhTSH administration compared to that before thyroidectomy (p = 0.061). (b) When thyroid hormone therapy was discontinued, BUN was significantly decreased from levels observed prior to thyroidectomy (p < 0.001). The administration of rhTSH did not affect the BUN level (p = 0.286). BUN blood urea nitrogen, Cr creatinine, rhTSH recombinant human thyroid-stimulating hormone, THW thyroid hormone withdrawal.
