Neuromuscular complications in uremics: a review
Abstract
Background: Uremia may be associated with various neurologic manifestations, particularly a polyneuropathy, but also with focal neuropathies such as carpal tunnel syndrome and shunt-related neuropathies. Myopathies can also be caused by uremia and its metabolic disarrangements.
Review summary: This article reviews the clinical presentation, pathogenesis, and treatment of uremic polyneuropathy, focal neuropathies, and uremic myopathies.
Conclusion: Recognizing the presentation and pathogenesis of uremic polyneuropathies, mononeuropathies, and myopathies are important for their prevention and for proper management.
