Effect of hemodialysis on carbohydrate metabolism in patients with chronic renal failure

Interest in the study of the features of metabolism in chronic renal failure is steadily increasing due to the improvement of methods of treatment of uremia patients. Under conditions of prolonged hemodialysis uremia various metabolic disorders are observed, in particular changes in carbohydrate metabolism. As shown by studies in recent years, the majority of patients with chronic renal failure have reduced glucose tolerance with a frequency of 54 to 100%, which served as the basis for the introduction of the term uremic-azotemic pseudodiabetes.
