  • Title: [Changes in the functional status of the adrenal glands in patients with chronic renal failure during the treatment by programmed hemodialysis].
    Author: Neĭmark MI.
    Journal: Ter Arkh; 1988; 60(6):51-4. PubMed ID: 3206370.
    Abstract:
    A study was made of adrenal function in 2 groups of patients with chronic renal insufficiency on programmed hemodialytic therapy. Insufficiency of gluco- and mineralo-corticoid function of the adrenal glands and hyperfunction of their medulla developed in patients with normal BP and controlled hypertension. In patients with uncontrolled hypertension, insufficiency of adrenal glucocorticoid function was attended by hypercatecholaminemia and aldosteronism. Genesis of the revealed disorders was associated with the loss of hormones into the dialysing solution through the membrane, depletion of adrenocortical functional reserves and disturbance of pulmonary regulation of the level of biologically active substances as a result of microthromboembolization of the vessels of the lesser circulation attending hemodialysis.
