Long-term dialysis dementia dialysis in renal failure patients, is a fatal neurological syndrome. Also known as progressive dialysis dementia dialysis encephalopathy. First reported in 1972, after the dialysis centers around the world after another has been reported. 1991 Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta reported in 1967 U.S. hemodialysis dialysis dementia was 0.2%. Mortality rate was 23%. Disease and the etiology of renal failure, the patient's age or the type used in hemodialysis has nothing to do. Often in the dialysis occurs after 3 to 4 years. Course is usually 3 to 12 months, some patients die within one month after on_set_. Dialysis dementia speech impairment is the most prominent findings. Often the earliest. Atypical cases, speech disorders began to stutter, consequential to start speaking and pronunciation difficulties in movement, the patient may be restrained, the first syllable, one syllable in speech can be a transient dysarthria from developing completely silent disease.

This syndrome usually appears in two or more dialysis patients. Studies have been concerned with the dialysis solution containing alumina. Today, the harmful aluminum removed, has been significantly reduced this problem.
