title: Serum transcortin levels in patients with chronic hemodialysis.
abstract: Patients with renal insufficiency who are hemodialyzed 3 times a week either through a cuprophane membrane or through a polyacrylonitrile (PAN) membrane have the same transcortin and cortisol levels as patients with renal insufficiency who are not dialyzed. Moreover, hemodialysis did not influence acutely the latter transcortin levels.
