    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Cardiology
    • Internal Medicine

    Background:

    • Uremic pericardial tamponade is a serious complication of kidney failure.
    • Clinical presentation can range from asymptomatic to severe circulatory collapse.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the clinical presentation, diagnostic methods, and treatment outcomes of pericardial tamponade in patients with uremia.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of 29 patients with uremia and pericardial tamponade.
    • Clinical assessment, chest radiography, and echocardiography for diagnosis.
    • Comparison of conservative management, pericardiocentesis, and partial pericardiectomy.

    Main Results:

    • Common findings included pericardial friction rub, elevated central venous pressure, and paradoxical pulse.
    • Echocardiography and chest radiography were key diagnostic tools.
    • Partial pericardiectomy resulted in immediate symptom relief and no recurrence in 25 of 27 patients.

    Conclusions:

    • Pericardial tamponade in uremia requires prompt diagnosis and intervention.
    • Partial pericardiectomy is the treatment of choice for uremic pericardial tamponade, offering superior outcomes compared to conservative measures.
