An unexpected complication in a hemodialysis patient: midodrine related A-V fistula dysfunction

[Aorta-right ventricle fistula. An unexpected complication of bacterial endocarditis].

BP = 160/90 mmHg in upper limbs, there were no palpable pulses in lower limbs. Systolic impulse verified in the 5th left paraesternal intercostal space, where a tremor irradiated until the 2nd right paraesternal intercostal space. A rude mesotelesystolic murmur audible in that region, irradiating to cervical, subclavicular and interscapular regions. The diagnostic hypothesis was infectious endo...

Successful Pregnancy in a Chronic Hemodialysis Patient

Pregnancy in end stage renal disease women who are on Hemodialysis has been considered a challenging event for both mother and fetus. Generally, outcomes of pregnancy in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) have been considered to be extremely poor, and pregnancy in this group of patients is rather scarce. The frequency of conception is ranged from 0.3% per year in Belgium to 1.4% per y...

Toxoplasmosis as a complication of transfusion in hemodialysis patients

Background Toxoplasma Gondi is an obligate intracellular protozoan parasite that is one of the most important protozoa of blood and tissue. The medical importance of this parasite is considered from two aspects of congenital defects and opportunities among those with congenital immune deficiency. Depending on the mode of transmission through blood and the risk of infection to Toxoplasma Gondi...

Aortobronchial fistula complicated with an aortic aneurysm in hemodialysis patient.

Subphrenic Abscess as a Complication of Hemodialysis Catheter-Related Infection

We describe an unusual case of subphrenic abscess complicating a central venous catheter infection caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a 59-year-old woman undergoing hemodialysis. The diagnosis was made through computed tomography, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa was isolated from the purulent drainage of the subphrenic abscess, the catheter tip and exit site, and the blood culture samples. A transe...
