Have you ever discussed this with your thyroid specialist? In 45+ years of hypothyroidism I've never had a kidney function test linked to my thyroid so it's not a standard thing.
Kidney function does not come within the remit of endos/thyroid specialists, although untreated hypothyroidism can cause kidney damage. Hyperthyroidism can make ckd worse, but is not necessarily a cause. Hypothyroidism is considered a possible risk factor for ckd, but not a cause. If there is some concern, your GP should run a kidney function panel.
Hypothyroidism and kidney problems are linked. I know this from personal experience and I found a paper the other day which confirmed this. I'll find it asap and post it here. And will explain my personal experience too.
