- Abstract
Background. We recently have reported the first randomized, controlled study on the effects of short‐term recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH∥ therapy on the nutritional status of a group of malnourished adult dialysis patients. In order to evaluate whether rhGH administration exerts any influence on GH, thyrotropin (TSH∥ and prolactin (PRL∥ responses to TSH‐releasing hormone (TRH∥, we assessed these responses before and after rhGH therapy.
