Neurodiagnostic Abnormalities in Patients with Acute Renal Failure: Article 17-JAN-2020

Neurodiagnostics tests are carried out when a patient suffers from the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) related diseases. The two types of neurodiagnostic testing: imaging tests or scans (x-ray, CT scan, MRI scan, PET scan) and electrical impulse detection (EEG, EMG). Neurodiagnostics helps to record, monitor, and analyze nervous system function in order to promote the effective treatment of pathologic conditions.

Neurological abnormalities are a major cause of morbidity in patients with renal failure. The pathophysiology of these neurological changes is unclear, and the effects on them of dialysis and return of renal function have not been well studied. Studies were done in 31 patients who had acute renal failure (ARF), all of whom were either treated with dialysis within 5 days or did not survive. Studies on these patients included the electroencephalogram (EEG), motor nerve conduction velocity, and plasma Ca++ and parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels.

Studies were done at the time ARF was diagnosed, after stabilization on dialysis, during the diuretic phase of ARF, and 3 mo after recovery from ARF. In 16 patients with acute or chronic renal failure who did not survive and in nine patients without renal disease who died, measurements were made in brain of content of Na+, K+, Cl−, Ca++, Mg++, and water.

According to the Research Team of  The Insight Partners Research Company, The Neurodiagnostic Industry is expected to reach USD x.x  billion by 2027 from USD x.x  billion in 2019, at a CAGR of x.x%. The demand for neurodiagnostics products is expected to grow mainly due to factors such as the increasing prevalence of neurological disorders & diseases, technological advancements, growing patient emphasis on effective & early disease diagnosis, the growing number of diagnostic centers & hospitals, and the use of biomarker profiling for disease diagnostics
