[Effect of hemodialysis on blood hormone and lipid levels in patients with chronic kidney failure]. / Vliianie gemodializa na uroven' gormonov i lipidov krovi u bol'nykh s khronicheskoi pochechnoi nedostatochnost'iu.

The task of the study was to investigate the effect of systematic hemodialysis on lipid and hormonal metabolic indices in patients with chronic renal insufficiency (CRI). In 83.3%, patients with CRI at the terminal stage demonstrated lipid disorders noted against a background of noticeable hormonal imbalance and characterized by high levels of insulin, parathormone, cortisol, somatotropin in the blood serum and a low level of triiodothyronine in the blood. Systematic hemodialysis did not result in significant changes in lipid metabolism. Lipid metabolic disorders in patients with CRI at the terminal stage were detected in 91.7% of cases. Changes in the level of hormones under study were characterized by a decrease in thyroxine concentration thus weakening thyroid function in CRI patients.
