Autonomic dysfunction in hemodialysis patients is one of the components of uremic neuropathy. In this prospective study, we investigated the effect of renal transplantation on uremic autonomic dysfunction with long-term time-domain and frequency-domain heart rate variability. Fourteen hemodialysis patients (10 male, 4 female; mean age 33 +/- 11 (range 16-50) years) were examined before and at the early after transplantation period (mean 4.6 +/- 1.5 (range 3-7. 5) months). The mean time spent on hemodialysis was 16.7 +/- 15.6 (range 6-65) months. In time-domain analysis, significant increases in all parameters except pNN50 (SD, SDANN, SDNN, rMSSD) were observed after renal transplantation (p < 0.01). In frequency-domain analysis, low-frequency (LF) (0.04-0.15 Hz) and high-frequency (HF) (0.15-0.40 Hz) spectral power were found to be significantly increased after renal transplantation (4.54 +/- 1.04 vs. 12.58 +/- 8. 69 for LF (p = 0.005), 2.80 +/- 1.0 vs. 6.50 +/- 3.55 for HF (p = 0. 005)), but the LF/HF ratio was not different from a pretransplant period (1.71 +/- 0.349 vs. 1.85 +/- 0.49, p = 0.26). It was concluded that autonomic dysfunction in hemodialysis patients is reversible and renal transplantation reverses the sympathetic and parasympathetic autonomic dysfunction simultaneously and at a relatively early stage.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007676 Kidney Failure, Chronic The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.

D001341 Autonomic Nervous System The ENTERIC NERVOUS SYSTEM; PARASYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM; and SYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM taken together. Generally speaking, the autonomic nervous system regulates the internal environment during both peaceful activity and physical or emotional stress. Autonomic activity is controlled and integrated by the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM, especially the HYPOTHALAMUS and the SOLITARY NUCLEUS, which receive information relayed from VISCERAL AFFERENTS.
