Sepsis and Dialysis Disequilibrium Syndrome
نویسنده
چکیده
Dialysis disequilibrium syndrome (DDS) is a central nervous system disorder, usually occurs in patients during hemodialysis (HD) or within 24 hours of HD. DDS was first described by Kennedy et al. in 1962. 11 If a critically ill patient on HD develops severe sepsis and septic shock with multiple organ failure (MOF), the adverse effect of HD on the brain is likely to be amplified, which may predispose to the DDS.

Dialysis Disequilibrium Syndrome: The Changes of Intracranial Pressure
Dialysis Disequilibrium Syndrome (DDS) is a rare but well-known serious complication of dialysis [1]. A clinical deteriorated neurological symptom due to cerebral edema after hemodialysis is defined as the dialysis disequilibrium syndrome, which is similar to symptom that occurs with increased Intracranial Pressure (ICP) [2]. However, the direct evidence of increased ICP is rarely described in ...
متن کاملDialysis Disequilibrium Syndrome
A aggressive dialysis in a grossly azotemic patient, especially one with severe metabolic acidosis, can lead to dialysis disequilibrium syndrome (DDS). Mild forms present as nausea, vomiting, restlessness, and headache. Severe manifestations include seizures, obtundation, coma, and even death. This clinical picture is caused by cerebral edema induced by one or more of the following mechanisms:

BACKGROUND Dialysis disequilibrium syndrome (DDS) is the clinical phenomenon of acute neurologic symptoms attributed to cerebral edema that occurs during or following intermittent hemodialysis (HD). We describe a case of DDS-induced cerebral edema that resulted in irreversible brain injury and death following acute HD and review the relevant literature of the association of DDS and HD. CASE P...

BACKGROUND Dialysis disequilibrium syndrome is characterized by neurological symptoms resulting from cerebral edema, which occurs as a consequence of hemodialysis. Dialysis disequilibrium syndrome most often occurs in patients who have just started hemodialysis, during hemodialysis, or soon after hemodialysis; although it may also occur in patients who are under maintenance hemodialysis with pr...

Renal insufficiency has many protean effects on the central nervous system. Early symptoms such as fatigue, clumsiness, and impaired concentration may progress to hallucinations, agitation, disorientation and coma if the renal insufficiency is untreated. The pathophysiology of these changes, due to uraemic encephalopathy are thought to be mediated by impaired neurotransmission (Burn & Bates, 19...
