Abstract

In the chronic renal failure (CRF) there are several upper gastrointestinal symptoms, which result from both disturbed motor function (associated with the delayed gastric emptying) and myoelectrical one (associated with abnormal electrogastrography registration). In patients suffering from CRF, disturbances of the endocrine digestive system function were also demonstrated, which are related to the observations of many gastrointestinal hormones increased levels.
