Abstract
Patients with CKD are frequently afflicted with neurological complications. These complications can potentially affect both the central and peripheral nervous systems. Common neurological complications in CKD include stroke, cognitive dysfunction, encephalopathy, peripheral and autonomic neuropathies. These conditions have significant impact not only on patient morbidity but also on mortality risk through a variety of mechanisms. Understanding the pathophysiological mechanisms of these conditions can provide insights into effective management strategies for neurological complications.
The aim of the present study was to identify the magnitude and extent of occurrence of neurological disorders and electrophyiologic changes in children with CKD on maintenance HD therapy in pediatric neprology unit in Menoufiya University Hospital during the period of study .
The studied subjects were divided into two groups.
