EP 147. Electrophysiological evaluation of uremic patients undergoing hemodialisys: Proposal of a clinical and numerical scale for severity and prognosis

Conduction studies (ENMG) have been used since long time for evaluation of chronic uremia (O'Regan et al., 2012) and the blink reflex is important for this purpose. Neurological alterations are easy to detect in uremic patients (Vellanki and Bansal, 2015), such as deep hyperreflexia, asterixis, reading and memory disturbances and sleep disorders (Merlino et al., 2008). They can occur together or alone in early stages of chronic uremia, but they have not been quantified to this moment, the purpose of this study.
