Psychiatric complications in patients undergoing hemodialysis include depression, acute psychotic reactions, delirium, and main. Mania during hemodialysis is not as common as depression, as evidenced by a paucity of such case reports in the
foreign
literature and by there is no such a report in domestic literature.
We experenced the case of 39-year-old man with chronic renal failure secondary to chronic glomerulonephritis who developed mania during hemodialysis for about 2 months. He has been treated with haloperidol, clonazepam, and supportive
psychotherapy.
With
3 months follow up, he has been doing well and has returned to work.
