title: [Hyperprolactinemia in chronic kidney failure patients].
abstract: The determination of the endocrine state of the patients with chronic renal insufficiency is of significance because of the endocrine sexual disorders often observed in those patients. According to literature data, hyperprolactinemia in combination with gonad dysfunction is often observed in the sera of those patients. Hyperprolactinemia was established, with the present study, in the examined 47 patients (18 females and 29 males) with chronic renal insufficiency, the normal physiological difference in prolactin level depending on sex, being eliminated in those patients. The hyperprolactinemia in the patients examined, as compared with the prolactin level in a control group of healthy subjects (10 females and 12 males) is statistically significant (p less than 0.01). Very likely that hyperprolactinemia in the patients with chronic renal insufficiency is complexly conditioned by the disturbed regulation and disturbed degradation and elimination.
