Summary

The Teffect of haemodialysis on the level of TBG and thyroid hormones in the serum of patients, suffering from terminal form of kidney insufficiency, were investigated.

It was established that in the majority of patients euthyroid function of the thyroid gland was preserved. According to our results this preservation of euthyroid function results from the decreased concentration of sera TBG, which follows the decrease of total sera proteins as well as increased peripheral conversion of thyroxine mostly in rT3.

Key words
