• Abstract:

  Conclusion: Hearing disorders, such as tinnitus, are increasingly present in the population. A higher incidence of tinnitus is suggested in nephropathic patients, those using ototoxic medications and undergoing dialysis. Therefore, a literature review was carried out with the aim of analyzing the evidence that correlates these factors. It was noted that evidence relating the presence of tinnitus in patients with chronic nephropathy, especially in that undergoing dialysis, is still scarce in the literature. However, the pathophysiology of both conditions can be correlated, in order to consider chronic nephropathy as a risk factor for tinnitus. Thus, the importance of audiological monitoring in the patients in question and the need for further research correlating the themes can be seen.
