Dialysis disequilibrium syndrome usually occurs following initiation of dialysis, among patients with severe baseline azotemia. Symptoms vary from nausea and mild headache to delirium and seizures. The central pathophysiology appears to be a rapid reduction in blood urea nitrogen levels, causing osmotic shifts that result in cerebral edema. Azotemia is a biochemical abnormality, defined as elevation, or buildup of, nitrogenous products (BUN-usually ranging 7 to 21 mg/dL), creatinine in the blood, and other secondary waste products within the body. Raising the level of nitrogenous waste is attributed to the inability of the renal system to filter (decreased glomerular filtration Azotemia is a biochemical abnormality, defined as elevation, or buildup of, nitrogenous products (BUN-usually ranging 7 to 21 mg/dL), creatinine in the blood, and other secondary waste products within the body. Raising the level of nitrogenous waste is attributed to the inability of the renal system to filter (decreased glomerular filtration rate-GFR) such as waste products adequately.
