Usefulness of Goreisan in Acute Phase Management of Intracerebral Hemorrhage Patients during Hemodialysis

Hemodialysis in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage may cause dialysis disequilibrium syndrome, in which severe brain edema occurs due to the osmotic gradient resulting in a sudden rise in brain pressure. Based on our recent findings, we report the utility of Goreisan administration for the management of these conditions, i.e., prevention of increased brain pressure and exacerbation of brain edema during hemodialysis.
