A 51-year-old male recently undergoing hemodialysis by a temporary dual lumen catheter presented fever. His catheter was removed, but he was admitted to the hospital presenting fever, decreased vision, edema, and pain in his left eye. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In one patient, gynecomastia was present before dialysis was started. Blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine were the same in dialysis patients with gynecomastia as in the dialysis patients without gynecomastia. [annals.org]

The most common presenting symptoms are non-specific and may include nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Other symptoms may be shortness of breath, chest pain, back pain and headaches. [link.springer.com]

Given the patient’s elevated myoglobin, which peaked at 3,101 ng/ml, a rheumatologic workup was ordered and found to be normal. [link.springer.com]

When suspected, urgent ophthalmologic evaluation and treatment are needed to reduce the risk of losing vision in the affected eye. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

There is a significantly increased risk of infectious complications, thrombosis, and other complications associated with CVC use which negatively affects patient prognosis [ 4 ]. [journals.plos.org]

Although the etiology has not been established, recurrence can be prevented by selection of a different type of dialysis membrane. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

You instruct the patient to continue holding firm pressure and consider possible etiologies of the bleeding. [emdocs.net]

In our study, we have identified a large predominance of multi-resistant bacteria that etiology would be probably multifactorial like self-medication of some patients, immunodepression and the level of hospital hygiene precisely the lack of some materials [omicsonline.org]

However, further work is necessary to elucidate the pathophysiologic mechanisms of intradialytic hypertension and its appropriate management and determine whether treatment of intradialytic hypertension can improve clinical outcomes. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The pathophysiological basis of this condition is a marked decrease or reversal of flow in the arterial segment distal to the AVF or AVG, induced by the low resistance of the fistula outflow 11. [advancedrenaleducation.com]
