Abstract
The pattern of the E. E. G. frequencies has been quantitated by the method of Romano and Engel, Kiley and Hines in 12 uremic patients, all of whom were studied by serial E. E. G.
As uremia became worse, the E. E. G. became abnormally slow. When uremia was relieved by recovery of renal function or by therapy, the E. E. G. returned toward normal.
Our experiences suggest that the presence of slow ave activity less than 7c/s in 30% of the E. E. G. indicates a need for effective therapy.
