study on thyroid functions in chronic liver disease

In the present study, thyroid functions have been evaluated with all the clinically available indices and confirms the abnormalities in many parameters of thyroid function test in chronic liver disease patients. However euthyroid state is maintained virtually in all patients, probably as a result of low normal Free T3 and high normal FT4. Furthermore, serum T3 concentration appear to directly correlate with the severity of liver dysfunction.
