Data were obtained by interviewing technique conducted in neurology polyclinic General Hospital of Dr. Saiful Anwar Malang (RSSA), comprises patient characteristic and their ENMG summaries. There were a total of 58 patients with hand complaint that fulfilled inclusion criteria. ENMG was conducted to all research subjects. Results: For 10 months (April 2017 – December 2017) there were 58 patients complained of hand pain, comprised 50 new patients (86%) and 8 old patients (13%). A total of 41 subjects (71%) were women and 17 subjects (29%) were men with complaints of unilateral hand 44 (76%) and bilateral 14 (24%) subjects. The major age group was 45-55 years (70%). The average occupation that experienced by patients was housewife (63%). Patients came with paresthesia as their most complaints (60%) with positive Tinnel sign found in 62% of patients and hypertension 34% and DM 24% as comorbids. ENMG was conducted to all patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) 44 patients (75%), polyneuropathy 6 patients (10%), de Quervain 6 patients (10%) as results. Conclusion: The most ENMG results of patients with hand pain complaints is carpal tunnel syndrome.

PROFILE OF PATIENT CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME IN THE NEUROLOGY CLINIC SANGLAH GENERAL HOSPITAL IN DENPASARABSTRACTIntroduction: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the entrapment of the median nerve at the carpal tunnel.Aims: To determine the profile of patients with carpal tunnel syndrome in the Neurology Clinic Sanglah GeneralHospital in Denpasar.Methods: This is a descriptive, cross sectional study. Data was collected during a6-month period from April 2016 to September 2016.Results: Among 25 subjects, 76% were female with mean age 48+10,133 years old, housewives (40%), with working hours of more than 8 hours per day. Most subjects had symptoms on the right hand 68% in the form of tingling sensation (96%), pain (36%), numbness (48%), and hand weakness (24%). Most subject has positive Phalen test (80%), Tinnel (80%), and Flick (76%) and small number had tenar muscle atrophy (28%), impaired sensibility (32%), and decrease in muscle strength (24%). As many as 68% of subjects had distal sensoric latency of median nerve recorded on the 4th digit>3.5msec, while 72% showed ≥0.5 difference of distal sensoric latency between the median nerve and ulnar nerve, while8% showed no response.Discussion: Most patients were female, with dominant complaint was tingling, positive Phalen and Tinnel test, and68% ENMG result shown CTS.Keywords: Carpal tunnel syndrome, electroneuromyography, patient profileABSTRAKPendahuluan: Sindrom terowongan karpal (STK) adalah penjepitan N. Medianus saat melewati terowongan karpal. Tujuan: Untuk mengetahui profil pasien sindrom terowongan karpal di poliklinik saraf RSUP Sanglah, Denpasar. Metode: Penelitian potong lintang terhadap pasien dengan STK yang berobat ke poliklinik saraf RSUP Sanglah,Denpasar secara konsekutif pada bulan April-September 2016.Hasil: Dari 25 subjek, 76% adalah perempuan dengan rerata usia 48+10,133 tahun, ibu rumah tangga (40%) dengan durasi kerja lebih dari 8 jam perhari. Mayoritas keluhan terjadi pada tangan kanan (68%), berupa kesemutan (96%), nyeri (36%), rasa tebal (48%), dan kelemahan otot  tangan (24%). Sebagian besar hasil positif pada tes Phalen (80%), Tinnel (80%), dan Flick (76%), serta sebagian kecil mengalami atrofi otot tenar (28%), gangguan sensibilitas (32%), dan kelemahan otot tangan (24%). Latensi distal sensorik N. Medianus pada perekaman jari IV terutama >3,5ms (68%), perbedaan latensi distal sensorik N. Medianus dan Ulnaris ≥0,5ms (72%), dan tidak ada respons 8%.Diskusi: Sebagian besar sampel adalah perempuan, gejala yang dominan berupa kesemutan, tes Phalen dan Tinnel yang positif, serta hasil ENMG 68% menderita STK.Kata kunci: Elektroneuromiografi, profil pasien, sindrom terowongan karpal

This Study Was Performed In 97 Hemodialysis Patients (85 On Hd And 12 On Capd) To Investigate The Possible Correlation Between B2-M And Hemodialysis-Related Amyloidosis Syndromes (Hra-S); Differences In B2-M And Hra Behavior Between Patients Hemodialysed With Cellulose And Synthetic Membranes Were Also Included In The Present Study. Data Indicate That B2-M Levels Are Not Correlated With Dialysis Length Or With The Type Of Membrane Used For The Dialysis. On The Contrary, In 16 Patients With The Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, A Significant Correlation Was Found Between The Cts, The Dialysis Length And The Type Of Membrane (Greater Incidence With Cellulosic Membranes).
