Poor kidney function, or low GFR and high creatinine, are hypothyroid signs. See the table here: tiredthyroid.com/blog/2014/...

If you are already on thyroid medication, maybe you need a dose increase?

Hi It is just that the potassium is high, dangerous. Drink more water for it. Also do not take magnesium as it affects the potassium.

Lois you do nto give any details about your thyroid are you hypo? Are you on levo? If you are hypo and not being treated properly- beware the usual " your results are fine" and make sure you get the actual results for thyroid tests with the ranges.

From personal experience I can say that if your thyroid test results show raised TSH then your kidney function will be affected, in the same way raised TSH leads to raised cholesterol. The thyroid affects every system in our bodies. Poor thyroid function/treatment leads to poor most other things!!!
