Physiological and neurological study of chronic renal failure patients with continuous hemodialysis

Abstract EN

Chronic renal failure (CRF) has become a great problem throughout the world.

It is connected to increased morbidity and mortality and also to decreased quality of life in patients compared to the general population.

The study was designated to estimate some endocrinological disorder in CRF patients with continuous hemodialysis.

Sixty patients (35 male& 25 female) were studied.

Sixty healthy volunteers match in age and sex were enrolled and accepted as a control group, their range between (20-58 years).

All patients and control underwent hormonal assessment for triiodothyronine hormone, thyroxin hormone, thyroid stimulating hormone, prolactin hormone, follicle stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, estradiol hormone and testosterone hormone by viadas technique, as well as biochemical assessment of blood urea ,serum creatinine, total serum calcium and serum phosphorus.

Assessment of cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy for male only with CRF.

The study revealed that there was high frequency of hormonal disorder in CRF patients of both sex .Also the study revealed high frequency of cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy in CRF patients, therefore assessment of autonomic nervous system should be considered.
