Abstract

Epileptic seizures are a known complication of uremia, but non-convulsive seizures appear to be rare. We describe a patient with absence status presenting with acute confusion who responded well to intravenous diazepam. Attention is drawn to this rare cause of acute confusional state in the hemodialysis population.
