Abstract

BACKGROUND: Movement disorders are not rare in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on hemodialysis (HD). The prevalence and the exact mechanism of these disorders are unknown. Iron deficiency and dopamine dysregulation are implicated from one perspective, whereas chronic inflammation and calcium dysmetabolism may be involved from another perspective.

AIM: We studied the prevalence, delay in the diagnosis and the role of iron deficiency, inflammation, and bone abnormalities on some movement disorders in patients with CKD on HD.

METHODS: A cross-sectional study examined the prevalence, among patients with CKD on HD in Mosul city, of restless leg syndrome (RLS), periodic limb movement syndrome (PLMS), Parkinsonism, asterixis, and myoclonus. Delay in diagnosis of these disorders was also studied. Validated questionnaires and specified neurological examination were applied to define patients with these disorders. Using IBM® SPSS® v. 23 statistical software, we compared between the different groups of patients by different parameters (case–control design).

RESULTS: Among 281 enrolled CKD patients on HD in Mosul city, the prevalence of RLS, PLMS, Parkinsonism, asterixis, and myoclonus was 28.72%, 17.02%, 2.84%, 20.92%, and 24.11% respectively. Average delay in diagnoses was 2.6 (±3.09) years, 3.02 (±3.13) years, 1 (±0.78) year, 1.23 (±1.51) years, and 2.28 (±2.34) years, respectively. Median duration of dialysis in patients with PLMS and Parkinsonism tended to be higher than in those without PLMS or Parkinsonism. Neither inflammation, ferritin level nor bone dysmetabolism discriminated patients with CKD on HD with and without these movement disorders.

CONCLUSIONS: Movement disorders are prevalent in patients with CKD on HD. In Mosul city, there would be still delay in diagnosis and treatment of these movement disorders. The longer the duration on HD, the more frequent the PLMS and Parkinsonism cases.
