Assessment of the characteristics and quality of life of patients with uremic peripheral neuropathy 
.

CONCLUSIONS: Typical symptoms of uremic peripheral neuropathy include numbness of the limbs and changes in tendon reflexes. In this study, sensory nerves were damaged more severely than motor nerves, and lower extremity lesions were more frequent than upper limb lesions. Clinicians should devote greater attention to patients with uremic peripheral neuropathy and strive to continuously improve these patients' quality of life.
