Evaluation of the Effects of Chronic Kidney Disease and Hemodialysis on the Inner Ear Using Multifrequency Tympanometry

To evaluate the effects of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and hemodialysis (HD) on the inner ear using the G width (the width between the bimodal peaks of the conductance (G) tympanogram at 2,000 Hz), which reflects the inner ear pressure and/or the existence of endolymphatic hydrops. We selected five...

Description
Summary:To evaluate the effects of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and hemodialysis (HD) on the inner ear using the G width (the width between the bimodal peaks of the conductance (G) tympanogram at 2,000 Hz), which reflects the inner ear pressure and/or the existence of endolymphatic hydrops. We selected five patients (10 ears) from the patients with CKD who were hospitalized for creation of arteriovenous fistula prior to initiation of HD (non-HD group), and we selected seven patients (14 ears) from the patients with CKD who were undergoing HD (the HD group). As a control group, we selected 80 healthy individuals (160 ears); these were mainly the medical staff of the hospital. We measured the G width of the control group and that of patients with CKD using multifrequency tympanometry. The mean G widths of the HD (measured just before an HD session), non-HD, and control groups were 210.7, 128.4, and 97.0 daPa, respectively. The G width of the HD group was significantly greater than that of the control and non-HD groups (p
