Abstract
In conclusion we demonstrated elevated plasma levels of total ghrelin in CRF, and a reduction of total and active ghrelin after a single course of hemodialysis in ESRD. The elevation of ghrelin levels could be caused by impaired clearance and/or metabolism of ghrelin in the kidney. We did not prove clearly significant relationship between ghrelin serum levels and parameters of GH/IGF-I axis in study subjects.
