The objective of the present case study was to examine whether Renastart, a pediatric renal formula (Nestlé Health Science, Florham Park, NJ, U.S.A.), could be used alongside expressed breast milk (EBM) to meet the nutritional needs of an infant with renal disease, while maintaining normal serum electrolytes.A 9-month-old infant received EBM with Similac PM 60/40 treated with Kayexalate (Concordia Pharmaceuticals, Bridgetown, Barbados) because of hyperkalemia. That formulation was not well tolerated, and the infant's growth trajectory declined. The infant was then switched to EBM with Renastart. During this intervention, ...

Rupture of Subcutaneous Peritoneal Dialysis Catheter by Stretching Exercise: A Case Report.
Authors: Kaneshiro N, Sakurada T, Hachisuka R, Hisamichi M, Yazawa M, Shibagaki Y
Abstract
Rupture of the peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter is rare complication. Here, we report a case of catheter rupture that occurred because of exercise after partial catheter reimplantation.A 66-year-old man with a history of end-stage kidney disease secondary to diabetic nephropathy experienced refractory exit-site and tunnel infection. After the infected parts of the catheter were excised, a partial catheter reimplantation was performed. At the time of that surgery, a presternal location was selected for the new exit s...

Correlation Between Near-Vision Acuity and the Incidence of Peritoneal Dialysis-Related Infections.
Authors: Kojima S, Sakurada T, Koitabashi K, Kojima K, Watanabe S, Uchida D, Kaneshiro N, Konno Y, Shibagaki Y
Abstract
Peritoneal dialysis (PD)-related infections (PDIs) such as peritonitis, exit-site infection, and tunnel infection are serious complications affecting patients on PD. Because patients with diabetes (DM) and of older age have increased in number in Japan, the number of patients with visual impairment is estimated also to have increased. Near vision is necessary for performing proper PD daily care. However, no studies have reported whether visual impairment is likely to increase the risk of ...

Louisiana State University Nephrology: Initiation of a Multicenter Urgent-Start Peritoneal Dialysis Program.
Authors: Jaikishen A, Lick A, Owen JG, Naljayan MV
Abstract
Urgent-start peritoneal dialysis (PD) refers to the initiation of PD in new-start end-stage renal disease patients who present either emergently in the hospital or urgently in clinic. These patients are called "late-referred patients." Our academic practice group, like many private practice and academic groups, currently functions within 4 hospitals and 4 clinics. The patient base consists of a large indigent population with limited access to health care and also of insured patients. An urgent-start PD program was initiated to provide all patients...

Erosion of the Silicone Peritoneal Dialysis Catheter with the Use of Gentamicin Cream at the Exit Site.
Authors: Gardezi AI, Schlageter KW, Foster DM, Astor BC, Chan MR, Waheed S
Abstract
Infection remains the leading complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD). Topical mupirocin and gentamicin are frequently used to prevent infections. Mupirocin ointment has been reported to cause damage to both polyurethane and silicone PD catheters. Gentamicin cream has not been associated with physical damage to catheters.A 64-year-old woman on PD developed relapsing peritonitis with Staphylococcus epidermidis. Because of a drainage problem and white discoloration at the exit site, which is known as " frosting," she underwe...

Time Is Not Always the Matter: An Instance of Encapsulating Peritoneal Sclerosis Developing in a Patient on Peritoneal Dialysis for a Short Term.
Authors: De Oleo RR, Villanueva H, Lwin L, Katikaneni M, Yoo J
Abstract
Encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS) is an infrequent but serious complication that is observed mostly in patients on long-term peritoneal dialysis (PD). However it can occur after short-term PD, in association with "second hit" risk factors such as peritonitis, acute cessation of PD, or kidney transplantation with the use of calcineurin inhibitors.In our case, a young woman with second-hit risk factors presented with clinical and abdominal computed tomography findings consistent with EPS after short-term PD. She was treated conser...

Comparing Dialysis Modality and Cardiovascular Mortality in Patients on Hemodialysis and Peritoneal Dialysis.
Authors: Refaat H, Sany D, Mohab A, Ezzat H
Abstract
Patients undergoing dialysis are at high risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Mortality differences between peritoneal dialysis (PD) and hemodialysis (HD) are widely debated. The question of whether dialysis modality affects the risk for CVD remains to be addressed.In the present study, we evaluated the influence of hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) on survival and the risk of developing de novo CVD. Our observational prospective study enrolled 157 end-stage renal disease patients on HD or PD for 12 months. Patients with a history of malig...

Preoperative Cardiac Evaluation in Kidney Transplant Patients: Is Coronary Angiography Superior? A Focused Review.
Authors: Katta N, Balla S, Velagapudi P, Mittal M, Agrawal H, Kumar A, Aggarwal K
Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is the major cause of morbidity and mortality in chronic kidney disease patients. Because of a higher occurrence of asymptomatic coronary artery disease and increased perioperative cardiovascular mortality in kidney transplant patients, screening for coronary artery disease before transplant surgery is essential. Various studies have shown that cardiac stress testing is an unreliable screening method in these patients because of significant variability in sensitivity and negative predictive val...

Treatment of Calciphylaxis: A Case for Oral Sodium Thiosulfate.
Authors: Shetty A, Klein J
Abstract
Calciphylaxis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Intravenous sodium thiosulfate (STS) is the mainstay of therapy for calciphylaxis. In peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients with calciphylaxis, intravenous STS poses logistic and financial challenges. Even though pharmacokinetic studies show poor bioavailability of oral STS, we report successful use of oral STS in 2 PD patients with calciphylaxis.A 55-year-old Latina American woman with diabetes was initiated on PD after access failure and chronic hypotension. She developed painful i...

Bullous Skin Lesions in a Patient with End-Stage Renal Disease and Hepatitis C.
We present a female patient with end-stage renal disease, bullous skin lesions affecting mainly sun-exposed areas, and high ferritin levels. She also had hepatitis C. Her serum porphyrin panel was suggestive of porphyria cutanea tarda. Skin biopsy excluded inflammatory pathologies. Phlebotomy during each hemodialysis, continuation of darbepoetin, and avoidance of any further doses of intravenous iron, with close monitoring of hemoglobin, resulted in a gradual drop in ferritin level and improvement of the skin lesions.

Successful Peritoneal Dialysis in Large-Weight Subjects: Clinical Features and Comparisons with Normal-Weight Subjects.
Authors: Salim SA, Akula Y, Kandhuri S, Afshan S, Zsom L, Dixit MP, Fülöp T
Abstract
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) obviates the need for temporary vascular access in end-stage renal disease; however, extremely heavy weight has been viewed as a relative contraindication to PD.We performed a cross-sectional review of multiple clinical and laboratory variables for 75 current or past PD patients (vintage > 6 months), comparing dialysis adequacy parameters for those with a large body weight (>100 kg, LWS group) and with a normal body weight (<75 kg, NWS group).In the LWS group (n = 17), mean weight was 11...

Can Plasma Hyaluronan and Hyaluronidase Be Used As Markers of the Endothelial Glycocalyx State in Patients with Kidney Disease?
Authors: Vlahu CA, Krediet RT
Abstract
Hyaluronan (HA) is widely spread in the body and is an important component of the extracellular matrix, including the endothelial glycocalyx (EG). Essential for its vasculoprotective function, HA is involved in vascular permeability and many other processes. In patients with kidney disease, plasma HA is higher than expected, but the extent to which plasma HA and its degrading enzyme hyaluronidase can be used as markers for the state of the EG has not yet been determined. In the first part of this review, we describe HA synthesis and degradation; we then focus on the i...
