Objective. To specify the impaired nervous system clinical and neurological characteristics in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Material and methods. A fragment of 52 chronic kidney patients, more specifically, a clinical case of uremic myopathy in 57-year-old female patient with CKD is presented. Results and discussion. Having examined the patients, we diagnosed proximal myopathy in a 57-year-old female patient with chronic pyelonephritis, proteinuria, stage 3A CKD. Conclusions. The clinical myopathy case has shown the possibility for neurologic manifestations to be preliminary to CKD, or for neurological clinical symptoms to significantly prevail over the somatic symptoms. That is why to study neurological characteristics in patients with CKD in detail is of great importance.
