Dementia due to dialysis – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1855327019

Dementia due to dialysis is a result of toxic exposure to aluminium. There should be supportive evidence from history, physical examination, or laboratory findings that the disturbance is caused by the direct physiologic consequences of exposure to aluminium from dialysate. Dementia due to aluminium toxicity may demonstrate characteristic paroxysmal high-voltage delta EEG changes.
