Neurological Aspects of Dialysis Patients

  • Chapter
Replacement of Renal Function by Dialysis

Abstract

Neurological complications in dialysis patients are manifold and frequent. Some relate to the persistence of a minor degree of 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.
