title: Brainstem auditory evoked potentials in chronic renal failure and maintenance hemodialysis.
abstract: Brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEPs) were recorded in 36 chronic uremic patients maintained on hemodialysis and in 10 normal controls. Both absolute response latencies and central transmission times were affected. There were transitory increases in interpeak latencies of I-II and III-V that were reversed by dialysis. A permanent increase in wave III-V interpeak latency was not reversed by dialysis. Wave II-III interpeak latency was unaffected.
