Abstrakt:	The dialysis disequilibrium syndrome is a severe, but rare complication that can occur during or after hemodialysis. It primarily arises from an osmotic gradient, between the plasma and the brain, resulting from the rapidity of the dialysis. This gradient leads to the development of cerebral edema and an increase in intracranial pressure, manifesting as various neurological symptoms. Although this syndrome carries risks of morbidity and mortality, it can be prevented by identifying high-risk patients, implementing preventive measures, and ensuring early detection and prompt management of dialysis disequilibrium syndrome. We present a case of dialysis disequilibrium syndrome in a 59-year-old woman, to raise awareness of this uncommon entity. This review focuses on the discussion of clinical features, and prevention of dialysis disequilibrium syndrome, with a particular emphasis on understanding its pathophysiology, as it significantly influences preventive and management approaches.
