B. Vikram Kumar, Manjusha Yadla

Abstract :

AIM : To determine the prevalence of heå loss in patients on maintenance hemodialysis and its correlation with Vitamin D levels PATIENTS AND METHODS : This study was done at our hospital over a period of two years.Heå abnormalities were assessed using Pure tone audiometry. Demographic data, dialysis details audiometry graphs were noted.Vitamin D levels were assessed using chemiluminiscence method. RESULTS: 200 patients were included in the study. Mean age of the patients was 44.3+11.2 years. Sensorineural heå loss was present in 164 of 200 patients. Majority (75%) had mild Sensorineural heå loss. All the patients had high frequency sensorineural heå loss. Vitamin D levels did not show association with heå loss. CONCLUSION: SNHL is highly prevalent among patients on hemodialysis. There is no correlation of vitamin D levels with SNHL.
