[Uremic neuropathy and the type of dialysis].
Motor conduction velocity of the median and posterior tibial nerves and sensory conduction velocity of the radial and sural nerves were examined in 45 uremic patients: 15 treated by hemodialysis (HD), 15 treated by combined peritoneal dialysis (CPD) and 15 treated as outpatients with peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). Motor and sensory conduction velocity were reduced in uremic patients treated by HD more than in those treated by CPD and CAPD; there were no significant differences between the last two groups.
