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. Despite initial therapy with laxatives and neomycin symptoms recurred. It was only after relocation of the hemodialysis catheter from the superior caval vein to the femoral vein that symptoms completely resolved.
期刊介绍：
Acta Clinica Belgica: International Journal of Clinical and Laboratory Medicine primarily publishes papers on clinical medicine, clinical chemistry, pathology and molecular biology, provided they describe results which contribute to our understanding of clinical problems or describe new methods applicable to clinical investigation. Readership includes physicians, pathologists, pharmacists and physicians working in non-academic and academic hospitals, practicing internal medicine and its subspecialties.
