Abstract
Renal Failure or Renal Insufficiency is a medical condition in which the kidneys fail to adequately filter waste products from the blood and results in decrease or absence of urine production, raised serum creatinine and blood urea. Psychosis refers to an abnormal condition of the mind, described as involving a “loss of contact with reality”. We present a case of a 56-year old female, a known case of Chronic Kidney Disease, who presented with irrelevant talk, irritability, and altered behavior since 1 day, disturbed sleep and decreased appetite since 15 days.
