Can dialysis cause Syncope?

There is generally a significant loss in fluid volume during dialysis, and it is reasonable to believe the patient may need some time to adjust to that. Standing up after losing a few gallons of fluid could be a predictable cause of syncope.

There are so many different solutions used in hemodialysis these days that it is possible that use of the wrong ones could result in electrolyte imbalance.

I had a friend who consistently came out of dialysis with blood sugar so low he would have lost consciousness if we didn't feed him candy.

Well, during and after dialysis, many times the blood pressure is quite low. That could cause syncope.
