Abstract:
Chronic kidney disease is an increasingly widespread problem. The progression of renal failure is associated with the development of various hormonal disorders, including those affecting the thyroid gland. The prevalence of multinodular goitre and differentiated thyroid cancer increases significantly in patients with renal failure. However, radioiodine treatment in patients with severe chronic kidney disease gives rise to a number of difficulties. The only conclusions regarding this treatment thus far have been derived from single case studies. It seems that prospective controlled studies can contribute to the creation of standards for radioiodine treatment in patients with various stages of chronic kidney disease, while maintaining the safety of such treatment for both patients and medical staff. This review gives the response to the question how nowadays to treat the patients with severe chronic kidney disease with radioiodine.

Renal Failure: Dose Adjustments
Reduced renal clearance and elimination rate are common outcomes of renal impairment. These alterations lead to a prolonged elimination half-life and an altered apparent volume of distribution for drugs. As a result, dosage adjustments are typically necessary to maintain optimal drug levels in the body.
