TL;DR
This paper can best be regarded as a "look all around" a very complicated and partially obscured landscape, in the hope that some features of importance may catch the attention of those who might be prepared to make a more systematic exploration of the field.
Abstract
In her excursion through the looking glass, Alice once remarked "I don't quite know yet. might". This paper can best be regarded as a "look all around" a very complicated and partially obscured landscape, in the hope that some features of importance may catch the attention of those who might be prepared to make a more systematic exploration of the field. With the many neurologic problems that are posed by patients with metabolic disorders, this is an urgent need that can no longer be ignored.

It is postulate that the blood-brain barrier prevented a parallel and equally rapid reduction of brain urea, which produced an osmotic differential between brain and blood causing movement of water into brain with resultant water intoxication and brain swelling.

It soon became apparent that urea in high concentrations, contrary to the generally accepted notion, was lethal and that many of the abnormalities noted in uremia could be elicited by this substance.

The study evolved from efforts over one decade to assess the severity of the uremic syndrome, and evaluation of the degree of uremia was particularly necessary to determine indications for dialytic therapy.

The present impression is that in this group of cases the gastroscope may prove to be more reliable than the gastrocamera, and in elderly patients, who should be spared extensive gastrectomy whenever possible, the information gained by gastrophotography has often been most valuable.

Archives of Internal MedicineThe Electroencephalogram and Spinal Fluid During Hemodialysis
49 Citations1966Constantine L. Hampers
Improvement in the electroencephalogram following dialysis is demonstrated and it is postulated that the cerebral dysfunction is due to delayed clearance of the urea from the cerebral spinal fluid (CSF), and an osmotic gradient between blood and CSF is established favoring the movement of blood urea.
