Abstract

Neurological abnormalities specifically related to uremia constantly occur in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), although they only become clinically well defined in severe acute renal failure (ARF) or late in the course of chronic renal failure (CRF) and sometimes in connection with metabolic acidosis and/or electrolyte disturbances secondary to renal disease (1–5).
