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.

血液透析相关门系统脑病1例及文献复习。

血液透析相关性门系统脑病(HRPSE)是一种无肝功能障碍的门系统脑病(PSE)的临床现象，通常由血液透析相关的门系统血流改变引起。我们描述了一例22岁的经颈静脉肝内门静脉分流(TIPS)患者，他在开始血液透析几个月后发展为HRPSE。尽管最初使用泻药和新霉素治疗，症状仍复发。只有将血液透析导管从上腔静脉移至股静脉后，症状才完全消失。
