Abstract

Autonomic impairment is associated with poor prognosis in many diseases. The pathogenesis of the uremic autonomic neuropathy has not been convincingly established, so the article reviews available information on factors involved in its development, furthermore the authors put forward their own hypothetical scheme of the pathogenesis. The last section outlines the methods most commonly used for its diagnosis and finally the authors discuss symptoms suggestive of this neuropathy in clinical setting.
