  • Title: Control of uremic neuropathy by equilibrium peritoneal dialysis.
    Author: Buoncristiani U, Mazzotta G, Carobi C, Gallai V, Cozzari M, Di Paolo NN.
    Journal: Int J Artif Organs; 1984 Mar; 7(2):97-100. PubMed ID: 6329962.
    Abstract:
    Motor nerve conduction velocity (MNCV), sensory nerve conduction velocity (SNVC) and distal motor latencies times (DMLT) were evaluated both in upper and lower limbs in three groups of 15 patients of comparable age, treated respectively by extracorporeal dialysis (HD), continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) and combined peritoneal dialysis (CPD) for comparable sufficiently long periods. Moreover, MNCV was monitored longitudinally in two groups of patients shifted from CAPD to HD and vice versa. The results show a significant superiority of peritoneal dialysis and particularly of CAPD with respect to HD in controlling uremic neuropathy.
