Material and methods: We present a part of examining 102 chronic kidney patients, aged 63�±2.56, among which were 57 patients (56 per cent) who had stage 1 CKD, 33 patients (33 per cent) had stage 2 CKD and 12 patients (11 per cent) suffered from stage 3 CKD. The survey included a detailed clinical and neurological examination, laboratory, including immunological parameters, and instrumental examinations (nephrosonography, a renal Doppler ultrasonography, Doppler scan on head and neck, brain MRI). We also studied the vegetative support. Results: Thus, having examined the patients with CKD in detail, we detected the signs of a nervous system disorder in all the patients, polyneuropathy â�� in 68 per cent of patients, autonomic nervous system tone disorder â�� in 74 per cent of patients, the impairments of the nervous system central part â�� in 42 per cent of patients. At the detailed examination of the patients with CKD there were identified Among all the patients with CKD, examined by us, only 6 per cent of patients had a eukinetic type of vegetative support, 17 per cent of them had a hyperkinetic type, and most patients, i.e. 77 per cent, had a hypokinetic type. According to the MRI data analysis, 3 per cent of patients we detected to have cerebellar demyelinating foci. Conclusions: Having examined in depth the CKD patients we identified the impaired structures of the central, peripheral and the autonomic nervous system. Key words: chronic kidney disease, clinical and neurological characteristics.
