- Psychiatric disorders are prevalent among patients on hemodialysis, and this case presents a unique situation of a woman who developed psychosis after undergoing bilateral nephrectomy.
- The patient initially refused hemodialysis and struggled with taking oral antipsychotics, leading to the decision to switch to a long-acting injection of aripiprazole.
- After starting with oral aripiprazole and progressing to a monthly injection, the patient showed significant improvement in psychotic symptoms, achieving full remission after 6 months, suggesting aripiprazole can be an effective treatment for psychosis in hemodialysis patients post-nephrectomy.
