Abstract
Introduction: Peripheral Neuropathy is a complication of chronic kidney disease. The study focuses the prevalence of peripheral neuropathy in Chronic Kidney disease patients admitted in our Hospital.
Methods: The study conducted in 50 patients affected with chronic kidney disease in Rajah Muthiah Medical College & Hospital. The presence of peripheral neuropathy was assessed by nerve conduction study.
Results: Out of 50 patients, more than 31 patients with Chronic kidney disease grade 5 was suffered from peripheral neuropathy. Out of that 17 Patients have showed sensory and motor neuropathy, 8 patients show sensory neuropathy and 6 patients show motor neuropathy.
Conclusion: Distal Sensory Motor neuropathy is the most common type of peripheral neuropathy observed in CKD patients. Prevalence of PN is in high correlation with severity and duration of chronic kidney disease especially in CKD Grade 5.
Keywords: Chronic kidney disease, Peripheral Neuropathy, Nerve conduction study.
