Five hemodialysis patients were treated with combined hemodialysis-hemoperfusion with their conventional hemodialyzer plus a 70-gram ultrathin collodion coated activated charcoal device for a total of 63 months. Indications for this therapy included pericarditis, peripheral neuropathy, clotting of conventional hemodialyzers and reduction of dialysis time and frequency. The outcome was beneficial in all cases and stable biochemical and hematological parameters were maintained. No increase in heparin requirements was noted and the therapy was thought to be cost-effective.

OBJECTIVE: To report a case of rhabdomyolysis occurring during treatment with colchicine. CASE SUMMARY: A 44-year-old African American man was admitted to the hospital due to persistent diarrhea, vomiting, and diffuse weakness. Past medical history was significant for renal failure requiring peritoneal dialysis, gout, and a new skin lesion. Approximately 2 months prior to admission, he had been started on colchicine and allopurinol. Creatine kinase concentration on admission was >14 000 U/L. Liver function tests were elevated 5 × the upper limit of normal. Colchicine was discontinued on admission. Creatine kinase concentrations decreased significantly, and strength and ambulation improved throughout hospitalization. DISCUSSION: Colchicine was thought to be the causative factor for rhabdomyolysis in conjunction with chronic renal failure and elevated liver function tests. After discontinuation of colchicine, creatinine kinase concentrations declined and the patient's ability to walk improved. Limited case reports of colchicine-induced rhabdomyolysis have been published. CONCLUSIONS: Chronic renal failure in conjunction with elevated liver function tests appear to increase the possibility of colchicine-induced toxicity, specifically, rhabdomyolysis.

AbstractObjective:Organised haematoma of the maxillary sinus may be present in chronic renal failure patients, because these patients are at high risk of haemorrhage.Case reports:We present two cases of organised haematoma of the maxillary sinus in patients with chronic renal failure.Conclusion:A diagnosis of organised haematoma of the maxillary sinus should be considered when a patient with a history of chronic renal failure develops unilateral, recurrent epistaxis and nasal obstruction.
