Abstract:   (4896 Views)
Loss of hearing is a known problem in patients with chronic renal failure, occurring in 40-XO% of cases and being most often of the high frequency sensorineural type. We performed a study on 50 patients with this disease, including 20 who had undergone a successful kidney transplantation. Our results show an 80% incidence of hearing loss in these patients and a chance of improvement in at least 60% of cases after transplantation.
Keywords: Chronic renal failure, kidney transplantation, sensorineural hearing loss.
