Abstract

Cochleovestibular dysfunction in the patients having chronic renal failure is being recognised more frequently with hemodialysis and renal transplants. A high frequency hearing loss of the endorgan type was recorded. A significant correlation between the severity of the hearing loss and the serum sodium levels was established in these patients. The Cochleovestibular symptoms improved with the correction of hyponatremia.
