Dialysis encephalopathy is a progressive, fatal condition that occurs in patients receiving hemodialysis. It is characterized by abnormalities in speech, myoclonic jerks, and striking changes on the electroencephalogram. We observed dramatic reversal of the clinical symptoms and electroencephalographic abnormalities in four patients with this syndrome who were treated with diazepam. In this paper we propose that in dialysis encephalopathy, some of the symptoms and the electroencephalographic changes represent a form of seizure disorder.
透析性脑病是一种发生在接受血液透析患者身上的进行性致命病症。其特征为言语异常、肌阵挛性抽搐以及脑电图上的显著变化。我们观察到4例患有此综合征的患者在接受地西泮治疗后临床症状和脑电图异常出现了显著逆转。在本文中，我们提出在透析性脑病中，某些症状和脑电图变化代表了一种癫痫发作障碍的形式。
