[The endocochlear potential in experimental renal insufficiency].
Endocochlear Potential (EP) was measured in male Wistar rats under control conditions and renal failure produced by means of bilateral nephrectomy. Results show a statistically significant (p less than 0.01) decrease in EP measured in animals with renal failure. This finding is in accordance with the decrease in Na-K ATPase activity found in the cochlea and other structures in human and experimental kidney insufficiency.
