Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Introduction: The earliest report on uremic state having an adverse effect on the central nervous system are traced back to the last century. The symptoms of Central Nervous System (CNS) damage in patients with renal failure and particularly in dialysed subjects may be of different intensity and variability within a short period of time. These include headaches, apathy and irritability as well as psychotic reactions, consciousness disorders, convulsion. Material And Methods: This study was carried out in non-diabetic uraemic patients admitted in different medical wards of S.P. medical College and Associated Group of Hospitals, Bikaner in North West Rajasthan. Subjects selected according to above mentioned criteria were included in the study. A pre informed written consent was obtained from every case of CRF. Identification data (e.g. name, age, sex, address) were recorded. Results: Pathological VEPs were found in 24 (48%) patients of CRF on conservative line of treatment and in 19 (38%) patients of CRF on maintenance hemodialysis group. 2. Pathological BAERs were found in 22 (44%) patients of CRF on conservative line of treatment and 19 (38%) patients of CRF on maintenance hemodialysis group. Conclusion: There was no correlation between pathological EP and age, dialysis duration, the degree of anaemia, blood urea, serum creatinine and creatinine clearance.
