[Function of the autonomic nervous system in uremia]

The article (first of three parts) critically reviews arguments found in the literature showing autonomic dysfunction in chronic renal failure patients. The autonomic nervous system problems will become of great clinical relevance considering increasing number and age of uremic patients being dialysed worldwide.
