Thyroid Nodule Incidence, Characteristics, and Localization in Hemodialysis Patients With End‐Stage Renal Disease: A Cross‐Sectional Study in Palestine
This study confirms a high prevalence of thyroid nodules in ESKD patients on hemodialysis, predominantly solid nodules, and unilateral multinodular goiter. The significant association between longer dialysis duration and increased nodule prevalence highlights the need for routine thyroid monitoring in this population. Further research is needed to elucidate underlying mechanisms and optimize clinical management of thyroid abnormalities in ESKD patients.
