Normal regulation of elevated plasma ghrelin concentrations in dialysis patients
2004
Background
Chronic renal failure is often associated with malnutrition, and malnourished patients are subject to increased morbidity and mortality. Therefore plasma concentrations of the stomach-derived peptide hormone ghrelin, which has been shown to exert potent GH-releasing and appetite-stimulating effects, were determined and correlated with nutritional parameters.
