Sensorineural Hearing Loss in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease: A Comprehensive Review.
Curēus 2023 November
This article aims to ascertain the prevalence of loss of hearing in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and also to examine potential causes of sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) in patients suffering from CKD. It has been discovered in recent years that there is a relationship between the occurrence of SNHL and CKD. Nowadays many people are suffering from CKD. These patients deal with several otorhinolaryngological issues, such as SNHL, candidiasis, epistaxis, halitosis, dysgeusia, xerostomia, and lip and thyroid malignancies. One of the most frequent otorhinolaryngological complications is audiovestibular system impairment. There are various proposed mechanisms for the appearance of loss of hearing in people suffering from CKD. The kidney and the inner ear have multiple functional and structural similarities, which may be the cause of these problems in CKD patients. In addition, changes in the homeostasis of water and electrolytes can affect the endolymphatic fluid and result in endolymphatic hydrops. Finally, some medications, like aminoglycosides and loop diuretics, are well known for their ototoxicity and are utilized to treat patients with CKD. Only a small number of population-based research have so far been able to show a connection between CKD and audiovestibular system impairment. Some investigation has shown that CKD patients are more likely than healthy people to experience vestibular impairment. The quality of life of a patient can be reduced by hearing loss. People with hearing loss experience communication issues in daily life, which negatively affects their cognitive and psychosocial functioning. Social isolation and a poor quality of life in terms of health can all result from hearing loss. In addition, decreased renal function has also been linked to poor quality of life, hospitalization, and cognitive dysfunction.
