When dialysis starts, will the difficulty in thinking clearly end?!
Question:
When dialysis starts, will the difficulty in thinking clearly end?
I haven't started yet, but will soon. I am having a hard time thinking clearly, and at times have a difficult time with comprehending written material, and confusion in conversation.
Answers:
In general, the answer is yes to your question. However there is such a thing as disequilibrium syndrome within 24 hours of dialysis, where one of them is mental changes. One good news on this is it would resolve spontaneously over 48 hour after dialysis.
Go ahead and feel the difference. Ask your renal doctor on other possible side effects and complications so that you are prepared.
