A member asked:

Is it normal to just stop taking your thyroid medication because you have kidney disease?

5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Thyroid: No. Most thyroid medications do not affect the kidney function, so you should not stop it just because you have kidney disease.

No: Hi. No, it's not. You need to talk with your doc and have the reason for stopping your thyroid explained to you, and the plan for moving ahead. Good luck!
