Abstract:A median motor nerve latency (DML) is generally prolonged in the carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) of hemodialysis patients. Meanwhile, the advanced glycation process of proteins has been reported to be involved in the pathogenesis of the dialysis related amyloidosis. To investigate the role of carboxymethylation in dialysis related CTS, we measured a circulating carboxymethyllysine-hemoglobin (CML-Hb) level and nerve conduction velocity in 44 hemodialysis patients. The circulating CML-Hb level was 6.56 +/- 3.18 nm… Show more
