Key Points

• To evaluate the prevalence and implications of thyroid dysfunction in patients with primary nephrotic syndrome.
• Conducted a retrospective cohort study at a single center.
• Assessed thyroid function and antibody levels in nephrotic syndrome patients.
• Analyzed the relationship between thyroid dysfunction, proteinuria, and hypoalbuminemia.
• Thyroid dysfunction was prevalent among patients with primary nephrotic syndrome.
• Higher levels of TSH and proteinuria were found in antibody-positive patients.
• No association was found between thyroid autoimmunity and specific pathological types.
