نوروپاتي اورميك و بررسي تغييرات الكترودياگنوستيك در دياليز منفرد

Background: EMG (Electromyography) and NCS (Nerve Conduction Studies) are known as the methods of choice to study uremic neuropathy. They are widely used to evaluate dialysis outcomes. Materials and methods: 14 patients with chronic renal failure have undergone NCS before and after dialysis. Results: Nerve Conduction Studies of ulnar (sensory) and tibial (motor) nerves revealed that their amplitude was significantly increased following the dialysis (p<0.05), however, changes in NCV were slighter. Simultaneous physical examination demonstrated further involvement in vibration sense and DTR (Deep Tendon Reflex). Conclusion: Results have implied that some nerve fibers convert from inactive to active phase during the dialysis and take part in nerve conduction.
