Uremic encephalopathy (UE) is a clinical syndrome, closely linked to the progression of renal failure. Many approaches can be utilized to diagnose it: EEG changes, somatosensory evoked potentials, choice reaction time test, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) studies, brain computerized tomography, plasma and CSF amino acid concentration. On the basis of the data available at present, it is possible to postulate that UE could be caused by amino acid derangements (mainly glutamine, glycine, aromatic and branched-chain amino acids) and by the subsequent imbalance of neurotransmitters (mainly GABA, dopamine, serotonin). Disturbances of mental, neurologic, motor and hormonal functions could derive.

D005071 Evoked Potentials Electrical responses recorded from nerve, muscle, SENSORY RECEPTOR, or area of the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM following stimulation. They range from less than a microvolt to several microvolts. The evoked potential can be auditory (EVOKED POTENTIALS, AUDITORY), somatosensory (EVOKED POTENTIALS, SOMATOSENSORY), visual (EVOKED POTENTIALS, VISUAL), or motor (EVOKED POTENTIALS, MOTOR), or other modalities that have been reported.

D014511 Uremia A clinical syndrome associated with the retention of renal waste products or uremic toxins in the blood. It is usually the result of RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. Most uremic toxins are end products of protein or nitrogen CATABOLISM, such as UREA or CREATININE. Severe uremia can lead to multiple organ dysfunctions with a constellation of symptoms. Uremias
