Abstract

This study examines the biochemical changes—specifically, serum urea, creatinine, and fasting blood sugar levels—in thyroid cancer patients who have contracted bacterial infections. We observed substantial increases in serum urea (p = 0.03), creatinine (p = 0.02), and fasting blood sugar (p < 0.001) in infected patients using a case-control design that included 50 thyroid cancer patients and 50 healthy controls. These results suggest that bacterial infections are associated with a risk of renal and metabolic dysfunction. Nevertheless, there were no substantial alterations in liver function indicators. The significance of monitoring renal and metabolic health in thyroid cancer patients with concurrent bacterial infections is underscored by these findings
