Abstract Background Peritoneal dialysis (PD)-related peritonitis is a rare but serious complication and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality rates. It is most commonly caused by Staphylococcus aureus or Staphylococcus epidermidis, but infection with Listeria monocytogenes may also occur. Recommendations for antibiotic treatment of a Listeria infection are currently based on a small number of case reports and suggest the administration of ampicillin. But unlike vancomycin or gentamicin, for ampicillin the route of application, the dosage, and the duration of treatment have not yet been established. We report a case in which PD-associated peritonitis due to Listeria infection was treated with ampicillin administered intravenously and intraperitoneally, separately and in combination. Case presentation A 72-year-old man with chronic kidney disease stage 5 dialysis (CKDG5D) secondary to hypertension and diabetes was hospitalised in April 2020 because of PD-related peritonitis caused by a Listeria infection. In accordance with the results of resistance tests, the patient was treated with intravenous ampicillin at a dosage of 6 g twice daily. After initial treatment the leukocyte count in the PD effluent had decreased substantially, but it was permanently reduced only with the addition of intraperitoneal ampicillin (4 g daily). Efficient serum concentrations of ampicillin were determined for both routes of administration, intravenous and intraperitoneal. Conclusion This is the first case report demonstrating that PD-related peritonitis due to Listeria monocytogenes infection can be treated with intraperitoneal ampicillin and monitored by the determination of peripheral serum concentrations of ampicillin.

This was a hospital based prospective, interventional study which included CKD stage 3- 5 patients with higher level of uric acid (male>7mg/dl, female>6mg/dl). The objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of allopurinol on inflammatory markers in patients with chronic kidney disease (stage 3-5) with asymptomatic hyperuricaemia. One hundred and twenty patients were distributed in two groups. Sixty patients were placed in treatment group and sixty in control group. Purposive sampling technique was followed. In the study mean age was 49 (±9) years in treatment group and 45 (±11) years in control groups. Male were predominant in both groups. There were no significant difference in baseline characteristics between treatment group and control group (p>0.05). Sixty patients of treatment group were administered a dose of 100 mg/d of allopurinol. Follow up assessment was done at basally, at 4 months and at 8 month after starting treatment. No significant differences were seen between baseline SBP, DBP, Hb and HbA1c with 4th month and 8th month follow up in both treatment group and control group, but mean Hb was significantly decreased in control group from the baseline after 8 month. No significant change was found in case of mean ESR at 4th and 8th month in any group. But base line mean CRP was significantly reduced in treatment group and increased in control group at 4th and 8th month of follow up. Serum uric acid was decreased in treatment group while it was significantly raised from the base line at 4th month and 8th month in control group. While comparing between two groups results showed means of serum uric acid and CRP were significantly decreased in treatment group compared to control group after 8th month. There was a positive correlation between Uric Acid with CRP level after 8 month of allopurinol treatment although this finding was not statistically significant. So, allopurinol may have a protective role in CKD by decreasing serum uric acid level and reduction of inflammatory response in patients with chronic kidney disease stage 3 - 5 with asymptomatic hyperuricaemia.J Dhaka Medical College, Vol. 26, No.1, April, 2017, Page 12-24

This was a hospital based prospective, interventional study which included CKD stage 3- 5 patients with higher level of uric acid (male>7mg/dl, female>6mg/dl). The objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of allopurinol in chronic kidney disease (stage 3-5) progression in asymptomatic hyperuricaemic patients.One hundred and twenty patients were distributed in two groups. Sixty patients were placed in treatment group and sixty in control group. Purposive sampling technique was followed. In the study mean age was 49 (±9) years in treatment group and 45 (±11) years in control groups. Male were predominant in both groups.

No significant differences were seen between baseline SBP, DBP, Hb and HbA1c with 4th month and 8th month follow up in both treatment group and control group, but mean Hb was significantly decreased in control group from the baseline after 8 month. Serum uric acid was decreased in treatment group while it was significantly raised from the base line at 4th month and 8th month in control group. In treatment group serum creatinine was decreased and eGFR was raised from the baseline after 8 month. On the other hand, in control group serum creatinine was significantly raised and eGFR was significantly decreased from the baseline at 8th month. While comparing between two groups results showed means of serum uric acid was significantly decreased in treatment group compared to control group after 8th month. There was a negative correlation between Uric Acid with eGFR after 8 month of allopurinol treatment although this finding was not statistically significant. So, allopurinol may have a protective role in CKD progression by decreasing serum uric acid level in patients with chronic kidney disease stage 3 - 5 with asymptomatic hyperuricaemia.J Dhaka Medical College, Vol. 25, No.1, April, 2016, Page 5-15

A 69-year-old male was admitted to the hospital with a chief complaint of abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. He had an extensive past medical history, including diabetes mellitus type 2 and chronic kidney disease stage III. Prior to admission, the patient was taking carvedilol 3.125 mg twice daily with no abnormality in his serum potassium. During hospitalization, his carvedilol was increased to 6.25 mg twice daily. The patient’s serum potassium then rose from 4.8 to 6.7 mEq/L, with no improvement following administration of sodium polystyrene sulfonate. Nephrology concluded the carvedilol could be contributing to the hyperkalemia. The dose was decreased back to 3.125 mg twice daily, leading to the potassium normalizing to 4.4 mEq/L. The reported incidence of beta-blocker–induced hyperkalemia is less than 5%. A literature search revealed several cases of beta-blocker–induced hyperkalemia, but to the authors’ knowledge, this is the first case describing carvedilol specifically. Utilization of the Naranjo probability scale indicated a possible probability that the carvediol was the cause.
