<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Hearing loss is common in patients with chronic renal failure. It is well known that chronic renal failure (CRF) causes different systemic and otorhinolaryngologic manifestations due to the accumulation of nitrogenous waste products. The aim of the study was to evaluate hearing threshold and the severity of hearing loss at different frequencies in patients of chronic renal failure (CRF), and to analyse the role of duration of disease on hearing threshold in patients of CRF.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> Fifty two patients of CRF were included in the study. Pure tone audiometry was done in all cases.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> Majority of the patients were in 21 to 40 year age group (mean: out of 52 patients, 38 patients (73.07%) had sensorineural hearing loss and 14 patients (26.93%) had normal hearing. Majority of the patients with hearing loss had mild (44.73%) or moderate (42.11%) sensorineural hearing loss. On comparison of the mean hearing threshold Group II (duration of disease more than five years- 17 patients) showed a statistically significant difference (P&lt;0.05) in mean hearing threshold at 250 Hz.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Hearing loss is present in majority of the patients of CRF. Most of the cases have mild to moderate sensorineural hearing loss. High frequency hearing loss in chronic renal failure is related to the duration of the disease, duration of haemodialysis’ and internal homeostasis, namely hyponatremia.</p>

Microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) is a systemic vasculitis that affects small caliber vessels, with renal and lung compromise. Diagnosis can be challenging; timely diagnosis and treatment are important to prevent devastating complication, particularly renal failure. We present a case of a patient with microscopic polyangiitis presented with renal and pulmonary involvements with concomitant sensorineural hearing loss. We provide diagnostic, therapeutic, and prognostic keys to microscopic polyangiitis.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Kidney diseases are emerging public health problems in developing countries. A common complication of renal failure is sensorineural hearing loss which is leading to poor quality of life. The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of hearing loss in renal failure patients and to see the correlation of dialysis, ototoxic drugs, and creatinine levels.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> This observational study was conducted at the department of otorhinolaryngology, tertiary care center, Jabalpur (Madhya Pradesh) for a period of 18 months i.e.; from March 2019 to August 2020. 70 patients with renal failure were registered for study. In all patients hematological tests include hemoglobin, urea, creatinine, random blood sugar, serum electrolytes and pure tone audiometry was done.  </p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> Out of 70 patients, 51 patients (72.9%) of renal failure had sensorineural hearing loss. Hypertension and diabetes mellitus as comorbidity play important role in hearing loss in renal failure patients. Acoustic reflex was absent in 14.3% of cases which signifying a profound hearing loss and these patients had creatinine level above 6 mg/dl.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Senorineural hearing loss is more prevalent in renal failure patients. Significant association was present between raised creatinine level and sensorineural hearings loss. Diabetes mellitus and hypertension were the common comorbidities that have a significant role in hearing loss in renal failure patients. All patients having renal failure have a risk of developing sensorineural hearing loss. So, these patients should be kept under follow up by doing regular pure tone audiometry and taking preventive measures, so that the hearing loss doesn't occur.</p>
