| Popis: | Subdural hematoma has a higher mortality rate with hemodialysis patients than the normal population. One reason for this is the coagulation abnormalities of hemodialyzed patients. One case of a successfully treated subdural hematoma in a chronic peritoneal dialysis patient is presented. Changing the mode of dialysis from hemodialysis to peritoneal dialysis in a patient suspected of having a subdural hematoma may be beneficial in improving overally survival. |
