Background: Human fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) is a new liver hormone that stimulate adipocyte glucose uptake and is involved in regulation of body fat.Objective: To define the natural history of FGF21 in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients and analyze its relationship with glucose metabolism, peritoneal function, and residual renal function (RRF).Methods: We studied 48 uremic patients undergoing PD. Patients were evaluated at...
