Thank you so much. I have read somewhere that this process of moving water into brain is reverse osmotic shift, but it seems like osmosis as water moved from low concentration to high concentration. Please clafify my doubt.
Oh yes great point. We would first investigate for other causes of neurological symptoms as patients on dialysis can have other events such as strokes, so we would perform a CT brain and relevant panel of bloods etc. For dialysis disequilibrium itself there are no specific treatments, predominantly supportive management. There are some case reports on using various treatments in ICU which reduce cerebral oedema. But overall prevention is better than cure for this one. Hope that helps :)
Thank you for the teaching and the encouragement!

Is the solution to this to put the pt in PD instead of hemo?
Great explanation. I just wish that you included how its treated.
