<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;">INRODUCTION:Hypothyroidism impacts renal function including deranged creatinine and electrolyte levels.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;">OBJECTIVES: To study levels of electrolytes and creatinine in<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span>hypothyroid patients attending RIMS Ranchi Jharkhand.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;">MATERIAL AND METHOD:50 Patients<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span>and 50 control samples were taken. Thyroid estimation was done on ABOTT ARCHITECT i1000 SR IMMUNOASSAY machine.
