Abstract:
The visual evoked potential was recorded in peritoneal and hemodialysis patients as compared to normal controls. By using the appropriate visual stimulus we were able to disclose specific VEP abnormalities for each of the two dialysis groups. The dissociation found between the latency of N70 and P100 in peritoneal dialysis patients suggests a possible postsynaptic visual abnormality not described previously. The correlation between the high serum aluminum and the P100 latency of peritoneal dialysis patients requires further investigation.
