Investigation of the Hormonal Axis Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Gonads in 20 Dialyzed Men

Abstract: Zusammenfassung Untersuchung der endokrinen Achse Hypothalamus‐Hypophyse‐Gonaden bei 20 Dialyse‐Patienten Bei 20 männlichen Dialyse‐Patienten wurde die Reagibilität der Hypophyse auf Stimulation mit GnRH untersucht. GnRH‐Test und Dialyse wurden gleichzeitig durchgeführt, allerdings wurde mit der Dialyse erst 60 Minuten nach Injektion von GnRH begonnen. Die basalen Werte von LH und FSH lagen signifikant höher (P < 0,0001 bzw. < 0,005) als der Normalbereich, die basalen Werte von Testosteron waren subnormal oder… Show more

“…Uremic male hypogonadism is generally referred to as primary, i.e., due to a direct toxic effect on the testis, because of the low serum levels of testosterone found in the patients, along with increased basal and GnRH-stimulated levels of LH, and occasionally FSH (Handelsman -1985). However, there are also indications of defects at the hypothalamic-pituitary level: increased pituitary secretion of biologically inactive common a-subunit of the glycoprotein hormones (Blackman et al -1981), defective LH rise after GnRH stimulus as compared to other hypergonadotropic states (Jecht et al -1980), frequent association with hyperprolactinemia (Mastrogiacomo et al -1984). Whatever the genesis of the gonadal failure may be, kidney transplantation usually restores testosterone levels and decreases LH levels (Handelsman et al -1981;Handelsman et al -1984;Holdsworth et al -1978).…”
