Ischemic colitis in chronic intermittent peritoneal dialysis.

G Koren, M Aladjem, J Militiano

    Nephron
    |January 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    A child with end-stage kidney disease developed ischemic colitis during peritoneal dialysis. Switching to hemodialysis and subsequent kidney transplantation resolved the intestinal condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Nephrology
    • Gastroenterology
    • Vascular Medicine

    Background:

    • A pediatric patient with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) experienced severe gastrointestinal symptoms.
    • Symptoms included diarrhea, abdominal distension, cramps, tenesmus, and vomiting, suggestive of colitis.

    Observation:

    • A 6-year-old boy undergoing peritoneal dialysis presented with severe diarrhea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.
    • Radiological imaging revealed mucosal irregularities in the colon, consistent with ischemic colitis.
    • Symptoms improved significantly upon transitioning to hemodialysis and discontinuing peritoneal dialysis.

    Findings:

    • Peritoneal dialysis may be associated with an increased risk of ischemic colitis in pediatric patients with end-stage kidney disease.
    • Hemodialysis offers a safer alternative for managing gastrointestinal complications in this population.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Successful kidney transplantation led to a complete resolution of the ischemic colitis.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering alternative dialysis modalities in pediatric patients experiencing gastrointestinal complications.
    • Early recognition and management of ischemic colitis in patients with end-stage kidney disease are crucial for favorable outcomes.
    • Further research is warranted to elucidate the mechanisms linking peritoneal dialysis to ischemic events in the pediatric population.
