BACKGROUND
Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) is not an uncommon complication of end-stage renal disease (ESRD), and may be complicated by cerebral edema. Hemodialysis (HD) may induce rapid osmolar and fluid shifts, increasing brain water content with the potential to worsen cerebral edema. The dangers
BACKGROUND
Arteriovenous grafting offers an alternative for patients whose vessels are unsuitable for arteriovenous fistula. However, as a result of subcutaneous tunnel dissection, postoperative pain and edema of the operated limb present early after surgery. As a traditional therapeutic approach,
Acute genital edema (AGE) is an infrequent but disruptive complication in patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. It is a common manifestation of dialysate leakage caused by inguinal, umbilical, femoral, or incisional hernias; peritoneal tears; leaks around the dialysis catheter;
OBJECTIVE
Volume control is a key component of treatment of hemodialysis patients. The role of pedal edema as a marker of volume is unknown. The objective of this study was to determine factors that are associated with edema.
METHODS
A cross-sectional study of asymptomatic hemodialysis patients (n =
BACKGROUND
Acute liver failure is associated with a high mortality rate. Induction of plasma hypertonicity with mannitol or hypertonic saline remains the cornerstone in the management of resultant cerebral edema. Significant disadvantages of this approach include poor or unpredictable control of
A 75-year-old male who was undergoing chronic hemodialysis developed abrupt-onset pitting edema and pain in the dorsum of both hands and feet. Biochemical analysis disclosed increased C-reactive protein, and negative rheumatoid factor and antinuclear antibody. Radiological examination showed no bony
OBJECTIVE
Vascular occlusion of hemodialysis arteriovenous access (AVA) using an Amplatzer vascular plug (AVP; St. Jude Medical, St. Paul, MN, USA) is an arising and alternative practice in selected patients; however, few reported cases can be found in the literature. Herein, we report on our
The concentrations of urea, creatinine, and uric acid were measured in edema fluid and plasma during hemodialysis and 18 h after hemodialysis. The concentrations of these solutes in plasma were 15-17% lower than in the edema fluid after hemodialysis. Eighteen hours after hemodialysis, however, the
A 71-year-old man with bilateral renovascular disease was admitted to Hamamatsu University hospital because of appetite loss and acute shortness of breath due to acute pulmonary edema (APE) with accelerated hypertension and renal failure. Hypertension and APE were controlled by an angiotensin
BACKGROUND
The dialysis disequilibrium syndrome is characterized by neurologic deterioration and cerebral edema which occurs after hemodialysis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the pathogenesis of acute cerebral and pulmonary edema induced by hemodialysis.
METHODS
We evaluated the
Dialysis disequilibrium syndrome (DDS) is characterized by the neurologic deterioration and cerebral edema that occurs after hemodialysis. To investigate the pathogenesis of DDS, the effects of rapid hemodialysis on brain electrolytes, urea, and several organic osmolytes were studied in the rat.
OBJECTIVE
The authors report the first case, to their knowledge, of resolution of diffuse macular edema after hemodialysis, which has been confirmed by optical coherence tomography.
METHODS
A 53-year-old white woman with type 2 diabetes developed worsening macular edema and was examined in the
Immersion pulmonary edema (IPE) is a rare condition observed in divers. We report a case of a 66-year-old man on maintenance dialysis who developed acute dyspnea and blood-tinged sputum after scuba diving. Vital signs on admission were significant for elevated blood pressure at 209/63 mmHg and
Genital edema is a recognized complication of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) in adults. Two children who developed genital edema while on CAPD are reported. The edema developed in both children as a consequence of a peritoneal leak in the inguinal region. A computerized tomogram
BACKGROUND
Acute scrotal edema is an infrequent complication in patients who undergo continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD), occurring in 2% to 4% of patients. Inguinal hernia is usually the cause, but the diagnosis is sometimes confusing. Imaging modalities such as computed tomographic
