Bullous pemphigoid (BP), a chronic autoimmune subepidermal blistering skin disease, has been described in end-stage renal disease patients requiring dialysis after the placement of an artero-venous fistula. We report a case of a novel onset of BP following a peritoneal dialysis abdominal Tenckhoff catheter placement. The 3-month treatment with systemic doxycycline and topical clobetasol propionate allowed a rapid disappearing of the blisters and left the patient free of symptoms in the follow-up. To our knowledge, this is the first case describing a new BP onset after a peritoneal dialysis catheter placement.

BackgroundPeritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter surgery can be performed using regional anesthesia. We present our PD catheter placement and extraction experience using ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block.MethodsIn the present study, we analyzed 74 patients from our center with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who underwent PD catheter placement (60 patients) and removal (14 patients) using a TAP block between June 2011 and December 2015.ResultsThe TAP block was successful for 55/60 (91.7%) patients (insertion) and 13/14 (92.9%) patients (extraction). Other patients had pain at the incision site and required general anesthesia. There were no anesthesia-, surgery- or PD catheter-related complications.ConclusionThe TAP block is a safe and effective technique not only for high-risk ESRD patients but for all patients undergoing PD catheter placement or extraction.

We herein report the first case of a patient with recurrent migration of the peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter into the inguinal hernia sac. A 58-year-old man suffered from end-stage renal disease due to polycystic kidney disease (PKD). A year before starting PD, a PD catheter was implanted with stepwise initiation of PD using the Moncrief-Popovich technique. He complained of drain failure and right inguinal swelling during the induction period and was diagnosed with right inguinal hernia. Further examination revealed that the PD catheter tip had migrated into the inguinal hernia sac. Although surgery was planned, the PD catheter tip spontaneously migrated back into the intra-peritoneal space. 14 months later, he noticed fill and drain failure again. Diagnosis was PD catheter dysfunction due to migration into the right inguinal hernia sac. PD was resumed without issues after repositioning of the PD catheter and repair of the inguinal hernia. Inguinal hernia is a frequent complication in PD patients, especially in those with PKD. Early diagnosis and treatment of hernia should be considered in PD patients.

Assisted Peritoneal Dialysis

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) as a treatment for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) provides a competitive alternative to hemodialysis (HD). Long-term catheter survival remains challenging and techniques are not standardized. Advanced laparoscopic placement with fixation and omentectomy might increase catheter survival. The goal of our study was to evaluate if selective infracolic omentectomy and fixation reduced complications after CAPD catheter placement.

Possible Cause

Tenckhoff catheter placement is a well-established procedure to facilitate continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) management. Catheter malposition is a possible cause of catheter malfunction. Options to deal with early malfunction are re-exploration, omentectomy, repositioning, or new catheter placement. Technical malpositioning can be dealt with early, with minimal morbidity and cost. Here we report a case of a CAPD catheter accidentally placed preperitoneally which was salvaged using videolaparscopy.

Cryptococcus albidus is a saprophytic yeast linked to just 26 reports of human infection in the world literature. Here, we report the first case of C. albidus peritonitis, in a patient with end-stage renal disease and hepatitis C-associated cirrhosis who is on peritoneal dialysis. The patient was treated successfully with a week-long course of amphotericin B. Non-neoformans cryptococcal infections present a clinical challenge, because they are difficult to diagnose and lack established guidelines for treatment. We present a review of the literature on C. albidus infections and their treatment.

Abstract Background Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a safe and home-based treatment for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. The direct thermal damage of abdominal organs is very rare. Case presentation We report a peritoneal dialysis patient presented abdominal pain and feculent effluent 3 weeks after he instilled hot dialysis solution. In spite of emergency exploratory laparotomy and active treatment, the patient died of septic shock. Biopsy revealed necrosis and perforation of the intestines. Conclusions Delayed bowel perforation by hot fluid is very rare. Standardized performance is of the first importance for peritoneal dialysis patients.

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.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is a rapidly spreading disease causing increased morbidity and mortality across the globe. There is limited available knowledge regarding the natural history of the SARS-CoV-2 infection. Other factors that are also making this infection spread like a pandemic include global travelers, lack of proven treatment, asymptomatic carriers, potential reinfection, underprepared global health care systems, and lack of public awareness and efforts to prevent further spread. It is understood that certain preexisting medical conditions increase the risk of mortality with COVID-19; however, the outcome of this disease in traditionally vulnerable chronic illnesses such as end-stage renal disease is not well documented. We present a case of a 56-year-old African American lady with end-stage renal disease on the peritoneal dialysis who presented predominantly with nausea, vomiting, and subsequently found to have COVID-19. We use this case to illustrate an atypical presentation of the COVID-19 in a vulnerable patient and discuss the literature.
