  • Title: [Hearing status in patients with pronounced chronic kidney insufficiency].
    Author: Gurbanov FA.
    Journal: Vestn Otorinolaringol; 1999; (2):39-41. PubMed ID: 10226491.
    Abstract:
    Hearing function was assessed in 63 patients with pronounced chronic renal failure (40 males, 23 females aged 20-52 years). Chronic renal failure resulted from chronic glomerulonephritis in 34 patients (16, 10 and 8 cases of nephrotic, hypertensive and mixed form, respectively), chronic pyelonephritis in 29 patients. The acoustic function was evaluated using acumetric methods, tonal threshold and suprathreshold audiometry, ultrasound sensitivity test, speech audiometry. Hearing disorders detected in patients with chronic renal failure were moderate and were characterized as neurosensory hypoacusis. The defects concerned high frequency perception. Hearing thresholds were high in all the examinees.
