Thyroid hormone supplement for people on dialysis
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests whether taking a thyroid hormone supplement helps people who are on hemodialysis and have borderline-high thyroid lab results (high TSH but normal FT4). It’s studying whether treatment changes thyroid-related outcomes or health while on dialysis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at thyroid function, cholesterol (lipid profile), and uric acid levels in people on hemodialysis. It aims to understand how these are connected, which could help improve monitoring and care for dialysis patients.
This study tests whether current thyroid medication doses are appropriate for people aged 65 and older. The goal is to find the best dose for each person to improve well-being.
This study aims to improve lab tests for people with hypothyroidism who take levothyroxine. It compares their test results to healthy volunteers to see if doctors can make more accurate diagnoses.
This study looks at whether it is safe to stop taking a low dose of levothyroxine (a thyroid hormone pill) in people aged 65 and older who have a mildly underactive thyroid. If you have been on this medication for at least 6 months, you may be able to help doctors learn if stopping the pill is a good option.
This trial tests whether adding vitamin E to your usual levothyroxine treatment helps improve thyroid function and reduce oxidative stress (a type of cell damage) in adults with hypothyroidism.
