Abstract

Objective We explored the nerve ultrasound (US) characteristics of 15 patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) and correlated these findings with clinical severity and electrophysiological parameters of neuropathy. Methods 15 ESKD patients on thrice-weekly high-flux haemodialysis and 15 healthy controls were enrolled. Sonographic and electrophysiologic studies were conducted before and after a single session of haemodialysis. Serial measurements of median nerve cross-sectional area (CSA) and hypoechoic fraction (HF) were performed at the same non-entrapment site in the mid-forearm. Neuropathy severity was quantified using the total neuropathy score (TNS). Results 86.7% of the ESKD cohort had neuropathy (TNS>1). ESKD patients had significantly higher baseline CSA (8.9±1.2mm 2 vs 7.5±1.0mm 2 , p p p 2 ; p p + after dialysis ( r =0.782, p Conclusions This study shows that peripheral nerves in ESKD patients are larger and more hypoechoic and that these morphological abnormalities may be reversed by dialysis. Significance US may be useful as an early marker of neuropathy in ESKD.
