RESUMO
Myxedema coma is a grave medical condition that warrants emergent medical management to avoid adverse effects and unfavorable outcomes. Intravenous thyroid hormones (T3 and T4), along with intravenous hydrocortisone and frequent vital monitoring, are the mainstays of the management of myxedema coma. The interplay between CKD and hypothyroidism is fascinating and can affect each other. It is often very difficult for physicians to differentiate between sepsis and myxedema coma, especially in the early stages. Infections and medication non-compliance are the leading causes of precipitation myxedema coma. We describe a case report presented with myxedema coma and CKD, which was successfully managed and also led to a partial reversal of CKD status.
