Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) are at an increased risk of bleeding. We report the case of a 40-year-old female, on peritoneal dialysis for ESRD, who presented with profound anemia; she was later found to have a bleeding jejunal dialysis-associated telangiectasia. We review the literature published to date on dialysis-associated telangiectasia and discuss the possible underling etiologies.

Reversible Encephalopathy

ABSTRACTWe report a patient with end-stage renal disease on peritoneal dialysis, who developed encephalopathy after receiving a few doses of cefepime. He recovered clinically and electroencephalographically after having discontinued the culprit agent and undergone hemodialysis. This case highlights the importance of promptly recognizing this reversible encephalopathy, which can lead to the avoidance of unnecessary workup, reduce the length of hospital stay, and thereby improve the patients’ outcome.
