A member asked:
Could a patient with stage 2 ckd and severe (right) temporal lobe damage experience episodes of delirium without having a uti present?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sure: There are many possible reasons for delirium, and infection is only one of them. If the person has altered mental status, is disoriented, and has behavioral changes, s/he needs urgent evaluation for delirium. Effective treatment requires finding and addressing the underlying cause. Medication side effects are frequently implicated in this situation also.
