"Uremic pericarditis"

Uremic pericarditis in patients with End Stage Renal Disease: Prevalence, symptoms and outcome in 2017. The prevalence of uremic pericarditis (UP) used to range from 3% to 41%. More recently, it has decreased to about 5%-20% and to <5% in the last decades, as hemodialysis techniques have become widely used and dialysis quality improved. The objective of this work is to determine the initial

Then it was exciting diagnosing uremic pericarditis, interesting to learn the diagnostic complexity of hepatorenal syndrome, but his responses to my questions were getting shorter and shorter and the GI specialists still didn’t want to start steroids (“we really ought to get a biopsy

excretion. * Metabolic acidosis – reduced acid excretion leads to metabolic acidosis. * Uremic pericarditis – pathogenesis is not well understood. * Other non-specific uremic symptoms: nausea, vomiting, anorexia, malnutrition, fatigue, and more.What are the treatment for these complications?Uremic syndrome should be treated based on patient presentation. For example, patients with volume overload should be treated with diuretics, sodium restriction, and anti-hypertensives, while those with metabolic acidosis should be given sodium bicarbonate with close monitoring of sodium levels.If the patient develops uremic pericarditis, or has refractory hyperkalemia, metabolic acidosis or fluid overload, then renal replacement therapy is indicated. The options for renal replacement therapy include dialysis (hemo

uremia and renal failure, but this may be reversed with renal transplantation.Cardiovascular abnormalitiesCardiovascular abnormalities, including uremic pericarditis, [17] pericardial effusions, calcium and phosphate deposition–associated worsening of underlying valvular disorders, and uremic suppression of myocardial contractility, are common in patients with CKD.

The laboratory data revealed marked elevated level of serum creatinine and blood urea. A large amount of pericardial effusion was timely detected by PoCUS. Uremic pericarditis was suspected. Emergent hemodialysis was initiated and her symptoms improved

Demographic data (age, sex, and comorbidities). 2. Clinical data

with NSAIDS. CONCLUSION As compared to other populations, the incidence of uremic pericarditis and pericarditis secondary to cardiac etiologies is slightly higher in the African American population; however, the clinical presentation, examination and laboratory findings, as well as investigations, are remarkably similar.

indications for RRT are severe and non-responsive hyperkalaemia, uremic pericarditis, and pulmonary oedema where the patient is prone to develop multiple electrolyte and acid-base abnormalities as well as fluid overload. Dialysis in this setting is usually performed through a temporary venous catheter when required. Continuous renal replacement therapy can also be utilized in patients who cannot tolerate

Acute Effusive Pericarditis due to Horse Chestnut Consumption There are many well-known causes of pericardial effusion, such as cancer metastasis, bacterial or viral pericarditis, and uremic pericarditis; however, no reports exist in the literature demonstrating a pericardial effusion that led to cardiac tamponade following consumption of an herbal remedy. A 32-year-old male patient was referred

to the presence of multiple liver cysts. Besides, PHG is known to present as chest pain, with or without hematemesis. Other causes of chest pain in ADPKD include referred chest pain from progressively enlarging kidney cysts, and rare pericardial cysts. Chest pain, especially if pleuritic, in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients, is often ascribed to uremic pericarditis. We present recurrent pleuritic chest pain in a 24-year old ESRD patient with ADPKD that was initially misdiagnosed as uremic pericarditis. It was ultimately shown to represent symptomatic PHG with excellent therapeutic response to proton pump inhibitors.
