Hypothyroidism is a systemic disorder characterized by low circulating thyroxine levels. Of late there was some western and sporadic literature from India on the association of hypothyroidism and reversible renal impairment. We here report this association from two of our patients, who presented to us with simultaneously elevated serum thyroid-stimulating hormone and creatinine levels.
