title: Hormone, inorganic phosphate concentrations and enzyme activity in hemodialyzed and kidney-transplanted children.
abstract: Several serum hormone concentrations, enzyme activities, and inorganic phosphate complexes were investigated in 13 hemodialyzed children, 7 kidney-transplanted children, and in 15 healthy controls. Prior to kidney transplantation 10 of the 14 tested hormone levels of hemodialyzed children differed significantly from those of healthy controls; however, after kidney transplantation most of them normalized, only the angiotensin-converting enzyme and alkaline phosphatase activities were significantly elevated in comparison with the control group. Among the different inorganic phosphate complexes, dialysis had the least effect on the CaHPO4 complex. In the hemodialyzed group the plasma renin activities were decreased and the amylase and lipase activities were increased.
