Dialysis related complications such as Intra dialytic leg cramps,
Dialysis disequilibrium syndrome (DDS) and hemodynamic instabilities (Intra dialytic Hypo/hypertension) were significant concerning issues in our study, as is the case in most of the world literature6.
Dialysis disequilibrium syndrome (DDS), first described by Kennedy et al.
Arieff, "Dialysis disequilibrium syndrome: current concepts on pathogenesis and prevention," Kidney International, vol.
A rare but serious complication of dialysis is the so-called dialysis disequilibrium syndrome (DDS), defined as the occurrence of acute neurological symptoms attributed to cerebral edema and increased intracranial pressure (ICP) during or following dialysis [2].
Cotte, and P Goutorbe, "Dialysis disequilibrium syndrome in neurointensive care unit: the benefit of intracranial pressure monitoring," Critical Care, vol.
The high frequency of poor sleep quality in hemodialysis patients has been attributed to a lack of nocturnal endogenous melatonin surge [9], increased core body temperature from exposure to warm dialysate [10], and possibly cerebral edema in the context of
dialysis disequilibrium syndrome [11].
When discussing ICP changes during HD, many existing papers further relate to the topic of
dialysis disequilibrium syndrome (DDS).
This patient experienced
dialysis disequilibrium syndrome (DDS).
It is preferred over hemodialysis in cases of acute kidney injury associated with bleeding tendency, hypotension and cardiovascular instability since it runs continuously with slow chemical changes and without risk of
dialysis disequilibrium syndrome. It is the treatment of choice for neonates and infants due to technical reasons8-10.
Study of 100 patients is insufficient to cover rare complications like
dialysis disequilibrium syndrome, cardiac arrest, myocardial infarction, stroke etc.
The symptoms are given different names throughout the literature, including dialysis intolerance,
dialysis disequilibrium syndrome, vascular instability syndrome, and dialysis fatigue.
Dialysis disequilibrium syndrome (DDS) is a neurologic syndrome precipitated by osmolar shifts in patients with very high BUNs receiving dialysis treatment.
