Objective:
To explore the features of hearing changes in patients with renal insufficiency treated with hemodialysis.
Method:
Forty-nine patients with chronic renal failure ongoing hemodialysis and 66 normal controllers were enrolled in this study.
Result:
The changes of the averaged hearing thresholds of high frequency for hemodialysis subgroup were similar to those of the control group, but the impairment of the hearing was more severe. Compared with the control group, there was significant statistically differences in every age segments.
Conclusion:
The hearing impairment in patients with chronic renal failure treated with hemodialysis is characteristic by decreased in high frequency portion.

Dialysis
Acute kidney injury develops suddenly and can be caused by pre-renal causes (e.g., hypovolemia, shock), intrinsic renal causes (e.g., acute tubular necrosis), or post-renal causes (e.g., urinary obstruction). In contrast, chronic renal failure progresses gradually over time and is often...
Renal Failure: Dose Adjustments
Reduced renal clearance and elimination rate are common outcomes of renal impairment. These alterations lead to a prolonged elimination half-life and an altered apparent volume of distribution for drugs. As a result, dosage adjustments are typically necessary to maintain optimal drug levels in the body.
However, dosage adjustments...
