Subacute uremic and diabetic polyneuropathy.

Muscle & Nerve 1997 January
We present 4 patients who had a subacute, predominantly motor polyneuropathy associated with diabetes mellitus and end-stage renal disease. Electrophysiological studies and muscle biopsy indicated a primary axonal degeneration of nerve with secondary segmental demyelination, and mild to moderate, acute and chronic denervation of muscle. A relative absence of denervation potentials on needle electromyography was an unusual feature. Three of our patients improved with a switch from conventional to high-flux hemodialysis. We speculate on possible mechanisms.
