Abstract
The prevalence of chronic kideny disease is increasing day by day. It is associated with various complications, neuropathy is one of them. Neuropathy can be diagnosed by various means, nerve conduction study is most sensitivity among them. We performed nerve conduction study on 384 chronic kidney disease patients iagnosed and referred to us by physicians after assessing our inclusion and exclusion criteria. Both males and females of 30 yrs and above were included in the study after obtaining written consent. The study was approved by Instituitional ethics committee. All patients were subjected to electrophysiological evaluation using RMS EMG EP Mark –II machine. Our results suggested that out of 384 patients, 289 patients have polyneuropathy as against 25 patients who have mononeuropathy. Thus, we can say that the frequency of polyneuropathy is 75.26% whereas frequency of mononeuropathy is 6.51% among CKD patients.
