Hemodialysis (HD) is a common treatment method for maintaining the life of some patients with uremia, renal failure, etc. At present, with the increase in the number of patients undergoing long-term dialysis, it is inevitable that they will be injured due to accidents and events in production and life. In addition, medical technologies such as hemodialysis have certain risks. Patients may be intertwined with complications, trauma, underlying diseases and other factors, which can easily lead to liability disputes between the parties. For such cases, forensic workers should comprehensively consider the case, analyze the relationship between disease, injury and death, and make scientific and reasonable judgments based on sufficient materials. This article summarizes and reports a case in which a dialysis patient died of subdural hematoma (SDH) and brain herniation after a traffic accident. The causal relationship between traffic accident trauma, disease, hemodialysis and SDH is comprehensively analyzed, providing a reference for forensic identification of such cases.
