What is the effect of hyperthyroidism treatment on renal disease?
Treating hyperthyroidism has no adverse effect on the kidney. What we do see is that hyperthyroidism artificially lowers the renal blood values used to determine the status of renal disease. Once the thyroid disease is cured by any of the three common treatments, the blood values are no longer artificially depressed and give a more accurate measurement of the cat’s renal status.
