Mania as a manifestation of end-stage renal disease.
A patient presented with mania as the primary psychiatric manifestation of end-stage renal disease. Previous descriptions of mania secondary to renal failure have been reported only in the 19th century literature. This case demonstrates that mania may arise due to endstage renal disease and that it should be included in the differential of secondary mania. Implications of this case on the pathophysiology of mania are discussed.
