title: Vestibular functions in conservatively treated chronic renal failure.
abstract: Chronic renal failure can produce malfunction of multiple organs, including auditory and vestibular apparatus. Twelve patients of chronic renal failure of varying etiologies treated conservatively were subjected to vestibular function tests. Only 33% of the patients had normal ENG data. Fifty-eight per cent of the patients had canal paresis and 8% showed hyperactive response. Ototoxic drugs like furosemide may be most important factor in aetiology of vestibular dysfunction in chronic renal failure.
