Lactic acidosis was present in 2 patients at presentation and serum lactate was elevated in 7\/15 patients tested. No patient had abnormal copper or thyroid metabolism and 5\/8 patients tested returned marginal abnormalities in heavy metal screening. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed characteristic bilateral symmetric T2 hyperintensity of the basal ganglia (BG), predominantly putamen and globus pallidus (the lentiform nucleus) and more extensive involvement of the external and internal capsules in patients with AP presentation. Post-mortem demonstrated cytotoxic necrosis of the BG. Therapy included thiamine, intensive dialysis and cessation of metformin. Two patients died acutely, nine recovered and nine had residual symptoms. Median survival did not differ by presentation: AP 24 [95% confidence interval (CI) 21\u201327] and CA 33 (95% CI 32\u201335) months, P\u2009=\u20090.21.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>There are two distinct clinical extrapyramidal movement disorders associated with specific diagnostic MRI imaging that support the diagnosis of the extrapyramidal syndromes of chronic kidney disease and dialysis.
