Sensory nerve function was measured in 123 non-diabetic dialysis
patients by current perception threshold using 3 separate
frequencies. Patient with severe neuropathy, defined as complete
anesthesia on at least one frequency, had a twofold increased
mortality risk using a Cox proportional hazard model. Neuropathy
was not associated with the urea reduction ratio. Analysis by
membrane flux category was not reported.
