Abstract
SUMMARY: Plasma levels of somatostatin‐like immunoreactivity (SLI) and gastrin were determined by radioimmunoassay in patients with varying degrees of renal dysfunction. The plasma SLI was not increased in patients with end‐stage renal failure as compared to healthy controls. In patients with varying degrees of renal insufficiency no significant correlation was found between the plasma SLI and kidney function as estimated by the51Cr‐EDTA‐clearance rate. In uraemic patients a significant inverse correlation was found between plasma SLI and plasma gastrin.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
