Epilepsy is a brain disorder in which a person has repeated seizures over time. Seizures are episodes of uncontrolled and abnormal firing of brain cells that may cause changes in attention or behavior. Epilepsy occurs when permanent changes in the brain cause it to be too excitable or irritable. As a result, the brain sends out abnormal signals. This leads to repeated, unpredictable seizures. (A single seizure that does not happen again is not epilepsy.)
Apart from the above the above causes, seizure on hemodialysis may also be caused by the following factors: * Drugs, such as erythropoietin, carbapenem and ertapenem. * Cerebrovascular disease, such as hypertensive encephalopathy, infraction, hemorrhage and subdural hematoma.
