Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery and Venous Hypertension in Early Hemodialysis Patients without Amyloid Deposits
AIM Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is one of the frequent problems of the patients who underwent hemodialysis (HD). The role of venous hypertension due to arteriovenous fistula (AVF) has not been clarified completely; therefore, we aimed to investigate the role of venous hypertension due to AVF in hemodialysis patients who had CTS. PATIENTS AND METHODS We included 12 patients who had been recei...
متن کاملInflammation and fibrosis of transverse carpal ligament and flexor tenosynovium in severe idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome
Background: We approached a histopathologic study of idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) to identify its probable causative factors. The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of inflammation and fibrosis in the transverse carpal ligament (TCL) and flexor tenosynovium (FT) in severe idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome. Methods: Thirty nine patients with severe idiopathic CTS under...
متن کاملCarpal tunnel syndrome caused by amyloid containing beta 2 microglobulin: a new amyloid and a complication of long term haemodialysis.
Three patients receiving long term haemodialysis treatment for chronic renal failure due to non-amyloid nephropathy developed the carpal tunnel syndrome requiring decompression surgery. The excised material contained amyloid, which by immunocytochemical techniques was shown to contain beta 2 microglobulin. This is, therefore, a new chemical form of amyloid whose deposition is likely to be the c...

متن کاملPredictors of outcomes of carpal tunnel release.
OBJECTIVE To identify factors that are predictive of the outcomes of greatest importance to patients-i.e., symptom relief, functional improvement, and satisfaction with the outcomes of surgery-following carpal tunnel release. METHODS We analyzed data from the Maine Carpal Tunnel Study, a community-based study of the outcomes of treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome. In a cohort of patients who...
