Background & Objectives: Cardiovascular events are the most common cause of death in hemodialysis patients. Cardiac biomarkers and especially Cardiac troponin I has been used as a prognostic marker in hemodialysis patients and there is some controversies about its value. For these reasons this study has been done for evaluation of prognostic value of Troponin I and left Ventricular Hypertrophy in mortality of hemodialysis patients.

  Methods:�This is a prospective descriptive-analytic study, has been done from 2006 -2011 All of new cases whom entered to dialysis center in 2006 studied with measurement of base line Cardiac Troponin I and left ventricular mass index .Patients fallowed up 5 years later without any specific intervention and survival rate was calculated crudely and in base of Cardiac Troponin I and left ventricular mass index separately after exclusion of non cardiac deaths.

  Results:�76 patients followed up 5 years and 35 of them died. Mean age of patients was 57.4 ± 15.6 year. Mean Troponin I (cTnI) in dead patients was 0.92±0.68ng/l and in alive patients was 0.78±0.58ng/l (p=0.39). Mean Left Ventricular Mass in dead patients was 274.9±100.8 g/m2 and in alive patients was 249±77.7 g/m2 (p=0.23). A significant linear correlation was not founds between cTnI level and Left Ventricular Mass Age was the most important cofactor of death.

  Conclusion: Significant correlation was not founded between cTnI level and Left Ventricular Mass with cardiac mortality .mortality. This may be due to some other factors such as age, quality of control of hypertension and other coexisted diseases, quality of life and home cares. Age had more important effect on death and this may reflect multiplicity of heath related problems in them.

  Thyroid hormones play an important role in the growth and function of the kidneys. Hypothyroidism has known role in kidney filtration system disorders. We reported hypothyriod patients with nephrotic syndrome recruited by hypothyroidism treatment. Although hypothyroidism coincidence with nephrotic syndrome has been recognized but often is missed in regard with nephrotic syndrome.
