On Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis. Developed Symptoms Of Schizophrenia. Due To Dialysis?
My father in law is on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. He has lately -- of the past 3 weeks -- suddenly developed symptoms of schizophrenia. Could this be due to changes in his dialysis routine, or any medications he's taking? He's on the usual renal medications, but his other physical parameters checked out normal, including tests for mg, al, etc.

Hi
Your father in law is on continuous ambulatory peritonial dialysis, developed symptoms of schizophrenia. It could be due to any thing most probably due to depression, that he is on continuous medication.
We should add one more medicine to his list. Avoid giving fatty food and junk foods, to avoid risk.
Best regards.
