Neurological Aspects of Dialysis Patients

  • Chapter
Replacement of Renal Function by Dialysis

Abstract

This chapter is an update of the excellent one written by Jennekens and Jennekens-Schinkel in the previous edition of this textbook. Although there has been no breakthrough in the understanding of the neurological problems occurring in dialysis patients, the management of neurological patients has changed during the past few years, making it necessary to revise this chapter. Neurological complications in dialysis patients are common and diverse. Some relate to persistence of mild uraemia others complicate the dialysis procedure. A number of neurological disorders occur with relatively high frequency in patients requiring this form of therapy but do not relate to uraemia nor to the methods used for treatment
