The role of alpha-glutathione S-transferase in the monitoring of hemodialysis patients with hepatitis C virus infection undergoing high-dose interferon-alpha-2b therapy.

abstract：:The authors utilized two groups of adult male rats to study the effect of chronic-uremic toxemia on the synthesis of thyroid hormones. The control group was sham operated, while the other group had about 70--80% of the left kidney tissue surgically excised and a total right nephrectomy performed 10 days later. At the ...
