This was a Cross-sectional comparative type of study. The study period extends from January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2007. The study was carried out in the out-patient and indoor patients of Nephrology and Medicine units of Rajshahi Medical College Hospital (RMCH), Rajshahi, Bangladesh. The study aimed to evaluate the occurrence of sub-clinical neuropathy in patients with CRF and its association with Age, Sex and Duration. Neuropathy is a common problem in patients of chronic renal failure. It increases the suffering of the patients who are already burdened by the real problem. The increasing prevalence of CRF has also increased the load of patients with peripheral neuropathy. Early recognition of neuropathy in patients of CRF and appropriate treatment of the condition may decrease the suffering of the patients. The present study was undertaken to evaluate subclinical neuropathy in asymptomatic chronic renal failure (CRF) patients of Bangladesh by electro diagnosis and to explore whether there is any correlation between the duration of CRF and the development of subclinical uremic neuropathy and also to find any relation between age and sex of the patient to the development of neuropathy among CRF patients.
