Neurologic manifestations of renal disease.
Mortality and morbidity from kidney disease and the spectrum of renal-associated neurologic disease have changed markedly since the introduction of renal dialysis and with the advent of renal transplantation. This article includes historical studies of the neurologic complications of acute uremia, now fairly uncommon, and recent literature regarding neurologic side effects associated with dialysis and renal transplantation.
