A considerable evidence base supports utility for measurement of IGF-I in nutritional contexts. Its concentration may be valuable in providing information on nutritional status...

... Malnutrition, primarily due to poor food intake, is common in dialysis patients. Anorexia is one of the symptoms of uraemia but is only partially corrected by dialysis [1-61. The kidney plays an important role in the disposal of several circulating peptides, including many hormones, such as insulin, glucagon...

It is concluded that the wound healing process is uniquely protected from the effects of moderate undernutrition such as might be experienced by a chronically ill patient. INTRODUCTION It is generally accepted that malnutrition is asso- ciated with poor...
