Results
A total of 100 patients, 20 (11 male (M), 9 female (F)) in the AKI
(case) group and 80 (23 M, 57 F) patients in control group, were
included in our study. The median age of the case group (56 years,
interquartile range (IQR) 44.3–68.5) was significantly higher than the
control group (49 years, IQR 32.3–60; p = 0.027), and the ratio of
males to females was significantly higher in the case group
(p = 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analyses showed
that hypothyroidism diagnosed after the age of 60 years (odds ratio (OR)
59.674, 95% confidence intervals (CI) 5.955–598.031;
p = 0.001), free triiodothyronine (FT3) < 1.3 pg/mL (OR
17.151, 95% CI 2.491–118.089; p = 0.004) and creatine kinase
(CK) > 1000 U/L (OR 1.522, 95% CI 1.602–82.848;
p = 0.015) were predictors for the development of AKI due to
severe hypothyroidism.
