Nerve Conduction Studies during the Relative Refractory Period in Sural Nerves of Patients with Uremia

Abstract
Sural nerves of 7 uremic patients were investigated electroneurographically and with paired stimuli. The patients had no clinical manifest polyneuropathy and on electromyography no abnormalities of motor innervation. As compared with 15 healthy control persons, conduction velocity was slightly decreased in the patient group (54.9–47.1 m/sec, p
