Popis: The aim of the study was to determine, whether autonomic neuropathy is a risk factor of death in dialysed patients. Results of autonomic tests (R-R interval variation and sympathetic skin response) which were performed 3 years ago in 51 patients were analysed. 22 of these patients died. A greater incidence of dysautonomia was found in patients who died. However, due to the small number of examined patients, it cannot be concluded, that dysautonomia is a risk factor of death in uremia.
