Abstract
Chronic renal failure (CRF) is associated with a polyendocrinopathy [1–8] (figure 13–1) that is responsible for symptoms and complications. Endocrine abnormalities are due to intoxication (not corrected by treatments), nutritional deficiences, abnormalities in electrolyte and mineral metabolism, and abnormal endocrine and metabolic functions of the renal parenchyma.
