    (Medimond S R L, 1998) Roth, J. H.; Richards, R. S.; Kaleli, Tufan; Karaeminoğulları, Oğuz; Dilek, Kamil; Gedikoğlu, Öner; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Ortopedi ve Travmatoloji Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0002-7434-8769; AAI-3754-2021
    The frequency of carpal tunnel syndrome in 95 patients who has been receiving long term hemodialysis in terms of hemodialysis period was investigated. Carpal tunnel syndrome was established in 9 (%41) out of 22 patients who were receiving hemodialysis for 8-16 years (group 1), in 6 (%14.6) out of 41 cases, which dialysis period was 4-8 years (group 2) and in 1 (%3) out of 32 cases, which dialysis period was 1-4 years (group 3). A total of 16 patients who were receiving hemodialysis for 3-14 years (13 female, 3 male) were operated for carpal tunnel syndrome. Histological examination of the synovial tissues revealed amyloid deposition (B-2 microglobulin) in 12 patients.
