Abstract

A 36-year-old woman who was undergoing dialysis for end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) was admitted to our hospital with consciousness disorder. She was diagnosed with Budd-Chiari syndrome due to antiphospholipid syndrome at the age of 28 years. Her kidney function and leg edema gradually deteriorated. After initiation of hemodialysis (HD), transient loss of consciousness due to hepatic encephalopathy during HD treatment occurred frequently. Her kidney replacement therapy was changed to online hemodiafiltration (HDF), which dramatically improved her hepatic coma. Compared with HD, HDF contributed to the increase in Fischer's ratio and decrease in tryptophan level, which has a high protein-bound property. This case suggests that HDF may be beneficial for hepatic encephalopathy in ESKD patients by modulating the amino acid profile.
