Incidental Detection of Portal Venous Gas During POCUS in a Neonate With Necrotizing Enterocolitis and Intestinal Perforation: A Case Report

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
Point‐of‐care ultrasound performed at the bedside identified hepatic portal venous gas in a critically ill neonate, prompting urgent evaluation and revealing intestinal perforation due to necrotizing enterocolitis. This case highlights the potential of POCUS to accelerate diagnosis when clinical signs are subtle or nonspecific.

The efficacy of managing fluid overload in chronic peritoneal dialysis patients by a structured nurse-led intervention protocol

BMC Nephrology, 2019
Background Extracellular volume overload is a common problem in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients and is associated with excessive mortality. We determine the effectiveness of treating PD patients with extracellular volume overload by a structured nurse ...

Effects of receiving renal biopsy on the prognosis of chronic kidney disease patients with impaired renal function

BMC Nephrology, 2023
Background Impaired renal function was not a recognized indication for renal biopsy. The effects of receiving renal biopsy on the renal functional prognosis for chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients with impaired renal function need to be explored ...

Sodium toxicity in peritoneal dialysis: mechanisms and "solutions"

, 2020
The major trials in peritoneal dialysis (PD) have demonstrated that increasing peritoneal clearance of small solutes is not associated with any advantage on survival, whereas sodium and fluid overload heralds higher risk of death and technique failure ...

Chronic Kidney Disease‐Associated Pruritus Is Linked to Selective Enrichment of Taurine‐Conjugated Bile Acid Subspecies

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Chronic kidney disease‐associated pruritus (CKDaP) is a frequent complication of advanced CKD with an incompletely understood pathophysiology. We identified a significantly altered glycine‐to‐taurine conjugated bile acid ratio in patients with CKDaP despite unchanged total serum bile acid concentrations.

Anchored but not safe: Rare but serious mechanical complications from peritoneal dialysis catheter suture fixation

UroPrecision, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter fixation techniques are frequently employed to minimize migration and optimize dialysate flow. While mechanical complications of PD catheters are well recognized, adverse events directly attributable to anchoring sutures are rarely described. We report two patients with end‐stage renal failure (ESRF)

Optimal use of peritoneal dialysis in patients with diabetes

, 2018
The survival of patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) resulting from diabetes continues to improve, but the survival rate among diabetic ESRD patients remains the lowest among all primary diagnoses probably because of the higher prevalence of ...
