Visual and somatosensory evoked potential characteristics of patients undergoing hemodialysis and kidney transplantation

摘要: Abstract The effects of prolonged hemodialysis and kidney transplantation on visual somatosensory evoked potentials EEG frequency were assessed. Significant changes found in both amplitude latency characteristics recorded from eight patients. Their tended to be longer larger when compared responses an age-matched control group. This was true for several scalp locations. A correlational analysis revealed no consistent relationship between blood chemistries potential characteristics. power spectral showed that the dominant five dialysis patients 8–10 c/sec range. Two other demonstrated frequencies which scattered across 3–12 range while another subject 7–8 c/sec. latencies amplitudes with successful transplant return normal their predominant increased around 10 depression function those neural systems underlying modalities, along a reduction cortical suppression afferent stimulation normally exerted by thalamic reticular system basal ganglia postulated account reported findings.
