Synopsis

Keywords: Neuroinflammation, Toxicity, Encephalopathy, COVID, renal, toxicCOVID-19 continues to be a threat to global public health. A large number of studies have reported various neurological symptoms in COVID-19 patients even after the respiratory symptoms have resolved. In severe cases, the neurological complications induced by SARS-CoV-2 can lead to extensive neuroimaging abnormality. Additionally, previous studies have shown that, among COVID-19 patients who went through dialysis, the short-term mortality rate is high. In this study, we reported three cases of deceased patients who had severe encephalopathy while going through dialysis, to better understand their fatal disease course and associated brain MRI and clinical symptoms complicated by COVID-19.
