Answer
Hi Nancy,



Thanks for asking my help on "Allexperts".



A number of conditions can be causing tremors after dialysis. A careful history and physical examination are required to arrive at a diagnosis. Some conditons that need to be ruled out are:



1. Electrolyte disturbances

2. Excessive fluid removal

3. Medications

4. Nerve disorders



Please get a consult from your Nephrologist.



Sincerely,



Dr. Shah
