“…Because CRF serum has an excess of IGFBP relative to IGF peptides, it has been suggested that these excess IGFBP may impair IGF-mediated effects in vivo, including linear growth, and that their excess implies decreased production of IGF peptides (19,30,33,41). Initially, IGFBP-I was identified as a potential inhibitor of IGF action in CRF (19), but recently it has been suggested that low-MW IGFBP-3 forms are more likely to be inhibitors, inasmuch as their serum RIA levels are much higher than those of IGFBP-1 (33).…”

“…The study population, described in a previous report (8), consisted of 16 children with endstage renal failure and 16 age-and sex-matched healthy controls aged 1 to 14.5 y. Biochemical characteristics of the children with CRF include: serum urea = 8 1 k 26 mg/100 mL (mean k SD), serum creatinine = 5.9 + 2.7 mg/100 mL, serum bicarbonate = 23 11: 4 mEq/L, and GFR = 10 11: 7 mL/min/1.73 m2. None of the subjects was on glucocorticoid therapy at the time of sampling.…”

“…(Pediatr Res 26:308-315, 1989) Abbreviations CRF, chronic renal failure IGF-BP25, 25 kD IGF binding protein IGF-BP53, 53 kD IGF binding protein IGF-I and 11, also known as the somatomedins, are peptides that mediate the mitogenic actions of growth hormone (7). Serum IGF-I levels are normal in children with CRF, whereas IGF-I1 levels are elevated (8).…”

“…We can analyse three factors described above by measuring IGF-I and IGFBP-3 levels. Although serum levels of IGF-I were found to be normal [8][9][10] or increased [7,17] in uremia, the bioactivity of IGF-I may be found to be decreased.…”

“…IGF-I is the major growth factor involved in postnatal growth [4]. Measurements of IGF-I by radioimmunoassay (RIA) have been reported, as low [5,6], high [7] or normal [8][9][10] levels in uremic patients. Third, it has been postulated that the high levels of low molecular weight unsaturated IGF-binding protein (IGFBP) may function as a growth inhibitor in CRF.…”
