Abstract
BackgroundChronic kidney failure is an irreversible medical condition that impairs the kidney’s ability to function. When CRF reaches a sophisticated stage, dangerous levels of fluid, electrolytes, and wastes can accumulate within the body. Dysphonia detected within the CRF patients was due to affection of the chronic kidney failure on the system and phonatory system. Patients with CRF treated by hemodialysis are exposed to continuous pulmonary insults of multifactorial origin: Fluid retention predisposes them to pulmonary edema which occurs more frequently within the presence of concomitant cardiovascular disease. Also, the spirit of the kidney failure patients can induce psychogenic dysphonia. The aim of this work is to see and analyzed voice problems in patients with chronic kidney failure to ascertain baseline data about the scale and distribution of the probable voice disorder in these patients for early detection and proper management.ResultsThe results obtained from this study showed that there have been statistically significant differences between chronic kidney failure patients G1 and control G2 regarding first harmonic, jitter %, shimmer dB and noise harmonic ratio dB, presence of dysphonia, and also the total score of VHI. The results of the study revealed statistical correlation between the quantity of years of hemodialysis and total acoustic measures.ConclusionThe results of our study revealed that subjects with chronic failure exhibit a clinical evidence of voice disorders and proving that there is interplay of different body systems and the larynx. The voice problems can vary between CRF patients depending on duration of hemodialysis and leading causes of chronic kidney failure.

This study carried on 56 patients suffering from chronic renal failure (CRF) with the mean years of hemodialysis 7.16 ± 4.70 and a range (1-18), 17 (31.5%) of them were diabetics, 14 (25.9%) were hypertensive, 11 (20.4%) were with repeated kidney stones, 1 (1.9%) with repeated urinary infection and were on narcotics, and 9 (16.7%) were diabetic and hypertensive
Our study consisted of 54 patients with CRF diagnosed by experienced nephrologist: undergoing hemodialysis 3 times per week for over 1 year and by renal functions include and 56 normal individual, each individual of both groups were subjected to a full voice evaluation which incorporates elementary diagnostic procedures, clinical diagnostic aids, Voice Handicap Index (VHI), and acoustic measurements
Summary
Chronic kidney failure is an irreversible medical condition that impairs the kidney’s ability to function. Dysphonia detected within the CRF patients was due to affection of the chronic kidney failure on the system and phonatory system. The aim of this work is to see and analyzed voice problems in patients with chronic kidney failure to ascertain baseline data about the scale and distribution of the probable voice disorder in these patients for early detection and proper management. Hemodialysis is the inevitable treatment procedure for end-stage renal disease. Voice production involves price coordination between the central system and peripheral phonatory organs. These features of end-stage renal disease can cause the change of voice attributable to decreased lung function and edema of the vocal folds. Most patients with end-stage renal disease after 3-5 h of hemodialysis, experience general weakness, fatigue, and
