Appetite Hormones in Pediatric Kidney Failure: Ghrelin, PYY, and GLP-1 Across Dialysis and Transplant
Ghrelin, PYY, and GLP-1 levels were altered in pediatric chronic renal failure patients, changing further after dialysis and transplant — explaining the appetite disturbances that affect growth in children with kidney disease.
Quick Facts
What This Study Found
Pediatric CRF patients showed altered ghrelin, PYY3-36, and GLP-1 profiles that changed with dialysis and post-transplant, with appetite hormone disturbances correlating with growth impairment — explaining appetite-growth dysfunction in pediatric kidney disease.
