Abstract EN
Tranexamic acid (TXA) is an antifibrinolytic agent commonly used to achieve hemostasis.
However, there have been a few case reports suggesting that high-dose intravenous TXA has epileptogenic property.
In patients with renal impairment, even administering the usual recommended dose of TXA can induce seizure episodes.
We present here a patient on hemodialysis who developed seizures after receiving two doses of TXA over 5 h period.
