This review was performed to investigate the association between treatment with dialysis and Takotsubo syndrome in patients with end-stage renal disease. We systematically explored the PubMed database using the search terms “Takotsubo cardiomyopathy” and/or “stress-induced cardiomyopathy” and/or “Takotsubo syndrome” in combination with “dialysis” and “uremia.” Of 3630 articles found, 8 articles reporting 10 cases were selected for analysis. Most patients were women, and their age ranged from 51 to 84 years. Diabetes mellitus and hypertension were diagnosed in 40% of patients, and glomerular disease was diagnosed in 30%. One only patient was treated with peritoneal dialysis; all others were treated with hemodialysis. The outcome was unfavorable in only one patient. An association between Takotsubo syndrome and dialysis is uncommon, but not negligible, and comorbidities play a major role in determining the clinical outcome.

ABSTRACTWe report a patient with end-stage renal disease on peritoneal dialysis, who developed encephalopathy after receiving a few doses of cefepime. He recovered clinically and electroencephalographically after having discontinued the culprit agent and undergone hemodialysis. This case highlights the importance of promptly recognizing this reversible encephalopathy, which can lead to the avoidance of unnecessary workup, reduce the length of hospital stay, and thereby improve the patients’ outcome.
