Sensorineural hearing loss in patients reaching chronic renal failure in childhood

Abstract: The incidence of sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) was investigated in 68 patients who reached chronic renal failure (CRF) in childhood with the aim of identifying possible risk factors. Tests were carried out by means of pure-tone and impedance audiometry. SNHL was found in 29% of patients on conservative treatment, 28% of patients on hemodialysis, and 47% after renal transplantation. Differences among groups were not significant. A significant correlation was found with the administration of ototoxic drugs (… Show more

“…[5] Mancini et al found no correlation between hearing loss, the duration of nephropathy and haemodialysis, suggesting that there must be another factor that caused hearing loss before treatment was started. [22] But in our study we found that mean duration of the disease and haemodialysis were strongly related with hearing loss group than in non-hearing loss group.…”

“…[21] Though the role of dialysis is unclear, adverse factors possibly related to haemodialysis are acute hypotension, reduction in blood osmotic pressure, acute clearance of urea, increased red blood cell mass and immunologic reaction to dialyzer membranes. [22] Further, it has been proposed that long-term haemodialysis may cause electrolyte, osmotic and biochemical alterations leading to sensorineural hearing loss, [20] though a single session may not have significant effect on hearing. In a study by Erkoc et al, the mean duration of haemodialysis in the patient group with hearing loss was longer than that in the patient group without hearing loss.…”

“…Gafter et al [12] found that patients with end stage CRF before the initiation of dialysis treatment and patients on long-term dialysis had delayed latencies of waves III and V. Furthermore, the second group had prolonged interpeak latency I-V. Mancini et al [13] reported similar findings; these data indicated that neural conduction along the auditory pathway is delayed irrespectively of hemodialysis onset, basically due to the disease. Gafter et al [12] and Mancini et al [13] reported that there was no correlation between ABR and blood level measures.…”

“…6 Sensorineural hearing impairment prevalence in pediatric transplant group was higher than in the chronic renal failure group (47% against 29%) in Mancini's study, and they found a significant correlation with the administration of ototoxic drugs after transplant (eg, aminoglycosides and furosemide). 7 Sensorineural hearing impairment prevalence was 62% in our patient group, and it was high when compared with the general population of children. Our higher prevalence may be related to the assessment that was performed without symptoms.…”
