[The somatotropic hormone and liver diseases].

P Weber, K Martínek, Z Cechácek

The authors examined in 1980-1988 a total of 114 patients aged 18-87 years suffering from chronic liver disease. In all these patients they examined in addition to RIA assay of somatotropic hormone (STH) bilirubin and basic liver enzymes, using common methods. They recorded a significant increase of STH in patients with cirrhosis of the liver. In the other diagnostic groups the STH levels were within the reference zone or at its upper borderline. The authors analyzed also STH levels in relation to diabetes and drew attention to its frequent occurrence (type II) in patients with cirrhosis of the liver. The authors analyze also STH variations in the course of ageing.
