Parathyroid Hormone: A Uremic Toxin

  • Chapter
Uremic Toxins

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 223))

Abstract

A Sundry of clinical, biochemical and radiographic abnormalities occur in patients with advanced renal failure. These are listed in Table 1, and they constitute the uremic syndrome. Their pathogenesis have been attributed to uremic toxins.

The uremic syndrome is mirky With investigation very quirky But let no technique be untried Let no method be denied Let no idea be untold Eventually the truth will unfold

George E. Schreiner modified by Michael Kaye
