Abstract
Dear Editor, We Read with interest an article published by Bian and colleagues in the previous issue of the Iranian Journal of Kidney Diseases on leptin in dialysis patients. Leptin, a protein produced by the obese gene is expressed, synthesized and secreted by white adipocytes. The exact pathophysiology of leptin is unclear. Metabolic effects of leptin include a wide range. It regulates adipose tissue mass and body weight by a feedback mechanism.
