Material and methods: We present a part of examining 102 chronic kidney patients, aged 63Ã?±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 âÂ?Â? in 68 per cent of patients, autonomic nervous system tone disorder âÂ?Â? in 74 per cent of patients, the impairments of the nervous system central part âÂ?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.
