Chronic renal failure has always been a major problem in the clinical treatment of renal disease, all kinds of chronic kidney disease with the progression of renal damage, and ultimately inevitably towards chronic renal failure. Therefore, delaying renal damage is the key to slowing down the progression of chronic renal failure patients towards end-stage using replacement therapy. In recent years, there have been many studies on renal damage caused by hypothyroidism, which is also an effective and feasible way to slow down renal damage.
