Background and paroxystic activities on AIDS patients' EEG: relation with urea and creatinine seric concentration
The HIV is responsible for important metabolic and structural alterations of the brain. This affected brain must react to continuous systemic metabolic fluctuations. We search for possibly resulting cerebral electric disturbance that could be found by EEG exploration. Sixty-three AIDS patients ranke...

| description | The HIV is responsible for important metabolic and structural alterations of the brain. This affected brain must react to continuous systemic metabolic fluctuations. We search for possibly resulting cerebral electric disturbance that could be found by EEG exploration. Sixty-three AIDS patients ranked as CDC group IV had their EEG background rhythm measured, and were appointed to mutually exclusiding groups delimited by medians' values of urea (24 mg/dl) and creatinine (0.9 mg/dl) seric concentrations. These groups were independently formed for each of the parameters utilized, and each data pair generated therefrom were compared between themselves to verify whether there were differences in background rhythm and the occurrence of paroxysmal activity. Background rhythm and paroxysmal activities have not statistically differed between the group whose creatinine values were lower than 0.9 mg/dl and the group whose creatinine values were equal or higher than 0.9 mg/dl. Background rhythm has not statistically differed between the group whose ures values were <24 mg/dl and the group whose urea values were =24 mg/dl; contrariwise, the occurrence of paroxysmal activities in these groups has significatively differed, being higher in the patient group whose otherwise normal urea values exceeded 24 mg/dl (p=0.02). |
