Abstract
|
|
|
|
| Hemodialysis-related portosystemic encephalopathy (HRPSE) is a clinical phenomenon where portosystemic encephalopathy (PSE) develops without liver dysfunction, usually caused by changes in the portosystemic blood flow related to hemodialysis. We describe the case of a 22-year old patient with a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) who developed HRPSE several months after initiation of hemodialysis. Symptoms resolved after therapy with laxatives and neomycin and relocation of the hemodialysis catheter from the superior caval vein to the femoral vein. |
