Among patients with type 2 diabetes, elevated TSH and FT4 (or T4), lower FT3 (or T3), TgAb positivity, lower SPINA-GD, and higher TSHI and TTSI were associated with kidney disorders. The lower FT3, even within the normal range (<4.38 pmol/L), may be the factor most related to reduced eGFR compared with other thyroid hormones in diabetic patients.
