A quantitative electrophysiological study of uraemic neuropathy. Diabetic and renal neuropathies compared.
The numbers of functioning motor units and the parameters of the electrically evoked motor unit potentials in the extensor digitorum brevis muscles of 30 patients on chronic haemodialysis for renal failure were obtained using recently introduced quantitative electrophysiological techniques. Measurements of the distal motor latencies and motor nerve conduction velocities in the lateral popliteal...
متن کاملQuantitative electrophysiological study of alcoholic neuropathy.
Thirty-one chronic alcoholic patients were investigated using quantitative electrophysiological techniques. Estimates of the numbers of functioning motor units in the extensor digitorum brevis muscles and measurements of the parameters of the potentials of these units are presented along with the values for motor nerve conduction velocities in the innervating lateral popliteal nerves. Motor con...
متن کاملElectrophysiological course of uraemic neuropathy in haemodialysis patients.
The objective of this study was to confirm electrophysiologically both the presence and course of uraemic neuropathy in haemodialysis patients. Nerve conduction studies of the lower extremities were done in 70 haemodialysis patients and 20 normal volunteers. Compared with that in normal volunteers, the distal motor latency in the tibial nerve of patients was prolonged significantly (p<0.05), an...
متن کاملElectrophysiological studies in diabetic neuropathy.
In 30 patients with diabetic neuropathy sensory potentials in the median nerve, motor conduction in the lateral popliteal and median nerves, and electromyographic findings in distal and proximal muscles were compared with the severity of symptoms and signs. All patients had abnormalities in at least one of the electrophysiological parameters. The sensory potentials were the most sensitive indic...
متن کاملRheumatoid neuropathy: a histological and electrophysiological study.
Peripheral nerves in five patients with rheumatoid neuropathy were examined electrophysiologically and by sural nerve biopsy. There was close correlation between the clinical severity of the disease and the degree of nerve damage found histologically and by EMG. Group 1 patients with a mild distal sensory neuropathy showed varying degrees of axonal degeneration in the large myelinated fibres an...
