The middle ear in long-term dialysis

R A Berry, J Roman

    Southern Medical Journal
    |October 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary

    Dialysis patients with middle ear fluid were studied. Researchers found no link between dialysis procedures and middle ear effusion, suggesting other causes for this condition in dialysis patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Nephrology
    • Audiology

    Background:

    • Middle ear fluid (effusion) was observed in patients undergoing long-term dialysis.
    • Dialysis was suspected as a potential contributing factor to middle ear effusion.
    • Otolaryngologists expressed uncertainty regarding the etiology and treatment of this condition in dialysis patients.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between dialysis procedures and the occurrence of middle ear effusion.
    • To determine if hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis influences middle ear impedance.
    • To clarify the etiology of middle ear effusion in patients receiving dialysis.

    Main Methods:

    • A statewide survey of ear, nose, and throat specialists was conducted.
    • Tympanometry was performed on patients receiving hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis.
    • Middle ear impedance was measured during two treatment sessions for each patient.

    Main Results:

    • A significant number of specialists were undecided about the cause and treatment of middle ear effusion in dialysis patients.
    • Tympanograms indicated that middle ear impedance measurements remained within normal ranges for both hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis patients.
    • No significant difference in middle ear impedance was found between the two dialysis groups.

    Conclusions:

    • The study concluded that middle ear effusion in patients receiving dialysis is not directly related to the dialysis procedures themselves.
    • Alternative etiologies should be considered for middle ear effusion in this patient population.
    • Further research may be needed to identify the true causes and optimal management strategies.
