Abstract
The relationship between subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and chronic renal failure (CRF) remains unknown. We retrospectively reviewed 302 cases of SAH. Of these, 6 cases were diagnosed as CRF who needed hemodialysis. In the cases with hemodialysis, SAH of unknown origin was more frequent than in ordinary SAH cases (80.0% vs. 5.5%, P＜0.0001). No SAH occurred during hemodialysis. The frequency of SAH in the patients with hemodialysis seemed to have no relationship with the duration of hemodialysis. These results suggest that further investigation is needed to clarify the effect of hemodialysis on cerebral vessels, which may frequently lead to SAH of unknown origin.
