Abstract:
Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) has been defined as a sudden/unexpected, witnessed/unwitnessed, nontraumatic, and nondrowning death in epileptic patients with/without seizure evidence and documented status epilepticus. Identified as the leading cause of epilepsy-related deaths, SUDEP cases are highly unrecognized and underreported due to diagnostic difficulty. We report a case of a successfully revived hemodialysis patient who developed cardiopulmonary arrest after a witnessed convulsive seizure. Electroencephalogram revealed epileptic abnormalities. Therefore, this case could be seizure-induced cardiopulmonary arrest and near-SUDEP. Hence, the possibility of SUDEP should be considered even in hemodialysis patients having conventional coronary risk factors for sudden cardiac death.

Acute kidney injury develops suddenly and can be caused by pre-renal causes (e.g., hypovolemia, shock), intrinsic renal causes (e.g., acute tubular necrosis), or post-renal causes (e.g., urinary obstruction). In contrast, chronic renal failure progresses gradually over time and is often...
