Core Tip |
The diagnosis of restless legs syndrome relies on the presence of unpleasant sensation in the legs associated with the urge to move. Symptoms mostly begins during periods of rest or inactivity and worsens in the evening or night. The partial or total relief is related to movement. Chronic hepatic failure was recently described in association with RLS, but there are very limited studies with no mention to treatment. We describe RLS syndrome associated with well-defined chronic liver along with therapeutic options, discussing risks, benefits and potential side effects, with a particular look at the augmentation phenomenon in hepatic failure. |
