ABSTRACT
In an attempt to find the best electrophysiological indicator of improvement for the neuropathy present in patients with chronic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis, several types of nerve conduction were studied at the beginning of dialysis and six months later. Sural nerve conduction and late response latencies were recorded in addition to conventional motor and sensory nerve conductions. After six months of hemodialysis, sensory nerve conduction velocities in the median, ulnar and sural nerves were improved. These values appear to be the most sensitive indices of the beneficial effect of hemodialysis on the neuropathy.
