Abstract
Dialysis disequilibrium syndrome (DDS) is a neurological disorder with varying severity which is primarily caused by the rapid removal of urea during hemodialysis, which was first described in the literature in 1962. Common risk factors are extreme age, high blood urea nitrogen, sudden change in dialysis regimen, presence of other conditions causing cerebral edema, preexisting neurological diseases, and increased permeability of the blood-brain barrier. Understanding these risk factors and preventing the syndrome is crucial as no specific treatment guideline has been established yet. In this case report, we are presenting a case with a conglomeration of clinical attributes suggesting DDS.
