Summary
This study tests whether adding urea to dialysis fluid can prevent dialysis disequilibrium syndrome—a set of brain-related side effects like headache, confusion, or seizures—in kidney failure patients who need fast dialysis to correct dangerously high potassium or acid levels. About 20 adults with very high blood urea will receive this modified dialysis. The goal is to safely lower potassium and acid without causing brain symptoms.
