Disequilibrium syndrome


[Complications associated with dialysis]
During dialysis, complications such as air embolism, bleeding, bacterial infection, and a drop in blood pressure and shock due to temporary blood leakage from the body can occur, as well as disequilibrium syndrome, dialysis dementia, bleeding, and serum hepatitis. Disequilibrium syndrome is thought to occur when the movement of substances at the blood-brain barrier cannot keep up with the purification of blood, resulting in a difference in osmotic pressure between the cerebrospinal fluid and blood, causing cerebral edema. Approximately 30 minutes after dialysis, nausea, vomiting, and elevated blood pressure can occur, and the patient may develop generalized convulsions and impaired consciousness. Dialysis dementia is characterized by progressive dementia and involuntary movements, and the prognosis is generally poor.
