DIABETES, DIALYSIS HEADACHE
Haemodialysis-related headache is prevalent in clinical practice but has rarely received attention. The prevalence of dialysis headaches in our study was 15.58% (24/154). The risk factors in patients with headaches were female sex and diabetes, and dialysis may trigger a primary headache episode among patients who had headaches after dialysis and a primary headache.We discovered that some patients whose headaches did not occur until after dialysis might be omitted. Therefore, we propose some recommendations to improve the practicability of the diagnostic criteria.
