The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence and aetiology of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and the effect of open carpal tunnel decompression (CTD) in a group of patients on renal haemodialysis. In 91 patients attending a Renal Unit who were assessed only by clinical means, the prevalence of CTS was 7.1%. CTS development was not significantly correlated with known risk factors, in particular duration of dialysis and presence of an artero-venous fistula on the symptomatic limb. CTD led to a mean symptom-free period of 12 years. In summary, CTS is a frequent and serious disease affecting renal dialysis patients, but its aetiology remains uncertain. Nevertheless, CTD is an effective and lasting treatment for this condition.
