GHRL and congenital secretory chloride diarrhea 1: Hyperghrelinemia was evident in 62.5% of our CLD cases with negative correlations between serum ghrelin and BMISDS and TSFT and SSFT percentiles which was further supported by the association of higher ghrelin with lower BMISDS, and TSFT and SSFT percentiles proved by multivariate logistic regression analysis.
