Abstract
Energy-rich phosphagens were measured in 11 patients with end-stage chronic renal failure and 11 nonuremic subjects. A significant decrease of ATP, phosphocreatine, total adenine nucleotides, lactate, and energy charge was found. The present results can be referred both to glycolytic sequence disturbances and to the lack of substrates characteristic of uremia.
