Abstract

Fasting plasma ghrelin concentrations are higher in CRF patients regardless of their need for hemodialysis compared to controls. The etiology of renal failure does not have any effect on plasma ghrelin levels. In addition, ghrelin levels are not associated with hemodynamic parameters in patients with CRF.
