Dialysate leakage is a complication of peritoneal dialysis with 5% incidence rate. Late leaks are rare, and symptoms subtle, as fluid loss occurs most often through abdominal wall defects. An 83-year-old diabetic woman was started on automated one month after catheter placement. Three years later, the patient complained tiredness, peripheral edema, pressure. Inspection showed local erythema orange-peel skin. A computed tomography scan periumbilical drainage, suggesting leak. The referred for...
Human cytomegalovirus (CMV ) infection is the most prevalent affecting organ transplant recipients, and it a cause of morbidity mortality in patients undergoing kidney transplantation. "e introduction ganciclovir (GCV for both prophylaxis treatment has vastly improved patient outcomes. GCV resistance can be caused by mutations UL97 phosphotransferase gene or UL54 polymerase gene. It occurs 1 to 2% recipients with CMV disease. Antiviral should considered when increased viral loads disease...
A infecção pelo citomegalovírus humano (CMV) é a mais prevalente que afeta os receptores de transplante órgãos e uma causa morbidade mortalidade em pacientes submetidos renal. introdução do ganciclovir (GCV) para profilaxia tratamento melhorou muito resultados dos pacientes. resistência ao GCV pode ser causada por mutações no gene da fosfotransferase UL97 ou polimerase UL54. Ela ocorre 1 2% renal com doença CMV. antiviral deve considerada quando se observa aumento carga viral...
Abstract Background and Aims Preoperative ultrasound mapping provides information about overall vessel, caliber, flow anatomic variations, useful for hemodialysis (HD) vascular access planning. High bifurcation of the brachial artery (HBBA) is one such established early upon fetal development. Its implications in arteriovenous HD creation are fairly unknown. The present work aims to characterize prevalence demographic characteristics patients presenting with HBBA study its impact planning,...
