  Four patients died, 3 of them due to sepsis and 1 due to recurrence of hepatitis C virus infection. The average survival was 28 months. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Consider serious causes such as bleeding, cardiac dysfunction, and sepsis. IV fluids should not be administered routinely (as is done for many ED patients). [emedicine.medscape.com]

  You may have fewer symptoms from dialysis such as nausea, headaches, cramps, and tiredness. You can more easily fit treatments into your schedule. You can do the treatment yourself, or you can have someone help you. [mountsinai.org]

  Symptoms of kidney failure include nausea, fatigue, swelling, and throwing up. When you should start dialysis depends on your age, energy level, overall health, lab test results and how willing you are to commit to a treatment plan. [webmd.com]

As mentioned in the introduction, PD is characterized by a better initial prognosis, and an equal or worse late prognosis. [doi.org]

This case demonstrates that proactive combination therapy can be extremely useful for preserving both RRF and peritoneal function, indicating a good prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Etiology Because plasma porphyrin levels in individuals with chronic renal failure may be mildly elevated, [4] or occasionally high enough to overlap levels seen in porphyria patients with normal renal function, [5] porphyrin photosensitization may play [emedicine.medscape.com]

The presence of albuminuria and occasional granular casturia has made difficulty in excluding chronic glomerulonephritis as the possible etiologic factor. [doi.org]

Polymicrobial infections suggest an intra-abdominal process, and other etiologies, such as ischemic bowel, perforation, or diverticulitis should be considered. Metronidazole with ampicillin and ceftazidime can be used empirically. [clinicaladvisor.com]

Epidemiology The frequency of bullous disease of dialysis among dialysis populations in the United States has not been accurately determined but may be similar to that reported from several European surveys. [emedicine.medscape.com]

As it is an epidemiological study, no causal conclusions can be drawn. The initial PD results may be due to better preservation of RRF, or to hitherto unidentified comorbid factors. [doi.org]
