| Abstract | ||||
| Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) refers to a condition related to irreversible kidney damage that can further progress to end- stage renal disease (ESRD).CKD is an increasing problem worldwide and is now being recognized as a global health burden particularly for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular ischemic events. Neurological manifestations related to electrolyte disorders, drug toxicity, and uremia are common in CKD. Aim of the Work: The aim of this study is to: Detect electroencephalogram (EEG) findings in different stages of chronic kidney disease for better evaluation and management of uremic encephalopathy. Subjects and Methods: This is a prospective observational study included 54 children with different stages of chronic renal diseases (from stage 1 to stage 5, undialysed and haemodialysed). All patients were recruited from the pediatric nephrology unit and pediatric hemodialysis unit at El-Minia university hospital, Minia governorate during the period from March 2015 to October 2016. Results: This is study included 54 children with different stages of chronic renal diseases (from stage 1 to stage 5). Recommendation: We recommend that EEG can be used to detect latent or subclinical encephalopathy, it will be helpful as a prognostic indicator of response to clinical therapy of CKD. One of our study limitations is the small number of studied cases, but our preliminary results could be the base for further evaluation. So, further studies with larger sample size is recommended for evaluating Electroencephalogram findings in different stages of chronic kidney disease. | ||||
