abstract：:The assessment of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) on hemodialysis is often hampered by abnormal responses to the standard 1-mg dexamethasone suppression test. Various mechanisms have been proposed to explain this lack of suppressibility. The present study was design...
