ABSTRACT

The latencies of evoked potentials recorded at different levels of the peripheral and central nervous system by median nerve stimulation were measured before and after dialysis, and compared with similar recordings in normal volunteers. Abnormally slow conduction velocity was more often found in proximal rather than in distal segments of the peripheral pathway in patients with chronic renal failure. This abnormality was not correlated with the presence of clinical signs of neuropathy or low values of motor conduction velocity, neither was it affected by dialysis. These findings support the hypothesis of peripheral nerve dysfunction secondary to metabolic derangement in uraemic patients.
