[Incidence of kidney diseases in inner ear disorders].
A retrospective study is reported based on a questionnaire sent to family doctors and otolaryngologists. Of 213 patients with various inner ear disorders, 19 were found to have renal disease. A further 19 patients were found who had abnormal laboratory and urinary tests. There was no increased frequency of renal disease compared with the normal population nor were there any differences in immunological findings. Experimental findings of renal and inner ear disorders are discussed. The serological data of the patients investigated are compared with etiological considerations of sensorineural hearing loss. This was no correlation of the clinical data with anatomical, physiological or experimental findings in the kidneys and cochlea.
