These mainly ensures in the provision of computational services as well as resources like computing power, bandwidth, network, storage etc and also have on demand access to the same. NIST defines cloud computing as follows, “cloud computing refers to allowing ofuseful on-demand network access to a shared pool of resources (i.e. networks, servers, storage, applications and services) that can rapidly have provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction” [1]. These shared resources, applications, infrastructures etc. are provided as a serviceto the end user over the network. The end users are not aware of the platform being used and from where they are gathering the service and where it is being stored [3].In cloud computing, there are mainly two types of cloud models i.e., Cloud Service model and Cloud Deployment model. Cloud Service Model includes SaaS (Software as a servic...

Cloud computing is a delivery model that allows users to connect with the server and use hardware, software and other resources. In cloud technology, the software and resources will be shared on the remote servers[14]. Client can access the resources from the server with high speed internet connection [15]. Cloud computing provides reliable and user friendly services like Infrastructure as a service (IAAS), Platform as a service (PAAS) and Software as a service (SAAS) as a subscription based services.

Objectives: The study aims at investigating the prevalence of thyroid function disorders in patients with CKD and its association with the degree of renal failure. Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed on patients with CKD, at the Nephrology unit, Hawler Teaching Hospital, Erbil, Iraq from 1 July 2020 to 31 December 2020. Demographic features such as age, sex, and body mass index (BMI) were recorded; blood tests were done, including serum-free triiodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxin (FT4), thyrotropin (TSH), and creatinine. The CKD-EPI (epidemiological) equation was used to estimate glomerular filtration rate (eGFR).The participants were classified according to their thyroid function, age, BMI, and eGFR. The association of thyroid dysfunction with gender, age, BMI, and eGFR was studied. Results: A total of 104 patients with CKD enrolled in the current study: Half of them were on conservative treatment, and the other half were on a chronic hemodialysis (HD) program. Fifty four (51.9%) of them were male, mean age was 53.99 ± 14.59 years, mean BMI was 25.19 ± 3.14 kg/m2, and most of them (63.5%) were overweight. According to eGFR classification, most of the participants (70.2%) were at stage 5 CKD, 20.2% at stage 4, and 9.6% at stage 3. From the study population, it was observed that 34 out of 104 (32.7%) participants presented with thyroid function disorders. Among them, 22 (21.2%) patients presented with subclinical hypothyroidism, seven (6.7%) had overt hypothyroidism, three (2.9%) hyperthyroidism, and two (1.9%) subclinical hyperthyroidism. Hypothyroidism (clinical and subclinical) was positively associated with increasing age and advanced CKD. Conclusion: Thyroid function disorders are common among patients with CKD. Hypothyroidism, the most prevalent one, was positively associated with increasing age, low eGFR, and in patients on HD therapy.
