Summary

Liver diseases have an influence on function and morphology of all endocrine glands. Knowledge of these specific changes is important in correct interpretation of pathological clinical and laboratory hormonal symptoms and signs induced by liver disease. We analyze the influence on the thyroid, bone metabolism, adrenocorticotropic axis, gonadal hormones, prolactin and growth hormone.

Key words:
liver – liver disease – thyroid disease – bone changes – cortisol – gonadal hormones – prolactin – growth hormone
