Approximately 80% of patients with a GFR less than 20 to 30 mL/minute develop metabolic acidosis.38 Metabolic acidosis can increase protein catabolism and decrease albumin synthesis, which promote muscle wasting, and alter bone metabolism. Other consequences associated with metabolic acidosis in CKD include worsening cardiac disease, impaired glucose tolerance, altered growth hormone and thyroid function, and inflammation.38... 

Hormones are intercellular messengers. They are typically (1) steroids (e.g., estrogens, androgens, and mineral corticoids, which control the level of water and salts excreted by the kidney), (2) polypeptides (e.g., insulin and endorphins), and (3) amino acid derivatives (e.g., epinephrine, or adrenaline, and norepinephrine, or noradrenaline). Hormones maintain homeostasis—the balance of biological activities in the body for example, insulin controls the blood glucose level, epinephrine and norepinephrine mediate the response to the external environment, and growth hormone promotes normal healthy growth and development. 

An excess of insulin can cause hypoglycaemia and the hormones that respond to this condition to restore normal glucose levels are known as the counter-regulatory hormones. They are adrenaline, glucagon, growth hormone and cortisol. An increase in the blood levels of these hormones can sometimes be used to conhrm a diagnosis of hypoglycaemia.

Growth hormone, or somatotropin, is a protein that stimulates linear body growth in children and regulates cellular metabolism in both adults and children. Growth hormone stimulates lipolysis, enhances production of free fatty acids, elevates blood glucose, and promotes... 

Cortisol and growth hormone These hormones are less important in the short-term maintenance of blood glucose concentrations. They do, however, play a role in the long-term management of glucose metabolism.
