When ESKD complicates disease management: GI bleeding and other GI illnesses
1Department of Nephrology, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN, USA.
Abstract:
The presentation of gastrointestinal (GI) illnesses is similar in patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) and in the general population. However, there are several instances where kidney failure and renal replacement therapy (RRT) can affect the course of the disease and its management. In this section, we will focus on unique factors of GI illnesses that should be considered in the ESKD population with and without residual kidney function (RKF). We will also discuss the role of RRT modalities in the occurrence and treatment of GI disease.
