Abstract
In adults several correlations could be established between neurophysiological data and hemodialysis parameters. This concerns cerebral (1–4) and peripheral (5–8) nerve function. Reports of similar studies in children are rare and mostly restricted to the assessment of the maximal motor nerve conduction velocity (MNCV) (9–11). Some results indicate shifts of MNCV in vague correlation to the degree and duration of dialysis (9). This, however, does not reflect changes in peripheral nerve function due to single dialysis sessions (10, 11). Therefore we used a newly developed neurographic parameter, the neuromuscular reaction to paired stimuli (NMRPS), which proved to react fast and early to lesions of the peripheral nervous system due to toxins other than in uremia (12).
