Eight cases of carpal tunnel syndrome are reported, all of which developed in patients on haemodialysis for chronic renal failure. In each case the arm involved had been used for a fistula. The aetiology of the syndrome in these patients is discussed; it is multifactorial, but related to the sites of arteriovenous fistulae. Decompressing the carpal tunnel provides effective and lasting relief.
