Hyponatremia and Hypokalemia in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients
نویسنده
چکیده
Imbalance of sodium and potassium in patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD) is not uncommon. Sodium is the major extracellular cation; however, its concentrations are mainly affected by water balance, as well as sodium balance. Potassium is the major intracellular cation, and serum potassium concentrations are very low, compared with its intracellular components. Hyponatremia and hypokalemia are associated with severe consequences, respectively. I will review development of hyponatremia and hypokalemia in incident PD patients, and describe recently emerging evidence related to hyponatremia and hypokalemia in PD patients.

Factors associated with Hypokalemia in Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis Patients
Hypokalemia is a frequent problem in patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) and is affected by multiple factors. To evaluate factors associated with hypokalemia, we studied 68 patients on maintenance CAPD treatment for at least six months. In univariate analysis, patients with hypokalemia were associated with older age and the presence of diabetes mellitus. Serum albumin, ...
متن کاملImpact of hypokalemia on peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis patients: a systematic review
Background: Hypokalemia is a common electrolyte disorder in peritoneal dialysis patients. Some studies showed the association of serum potassium levels with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality and infection. This review aims to clarify the relationship of hypokalemia and peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis. Methods: The MEDLINE and Cochrane Library databases were searched for articles publish...
متن کاملDe Novo Hypokalemia in Incident Peritoneal Dialysis Patients: A 1-Year Observational Study
Hypokalemia occurs frequently in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD). However, the therapeutic strategy may differ from that of non-PD-related hypokalemia. We investigated clinical features and related factors of de novo hypokalemia in incident PD patients. We retrospectively enrolled 82 normokalemic patients starting PD at Gachon University Gil Hospital, Korea. The patients were divid...
متن کاملComplications of peritoneal dialysis: a review of 226 dialysis episodes in 100 consecutive patients treated with peritoneal dialysis.
226 peritoneal dialyses were performed on 100 patients. 28 patients presented with acute renal failure. Uraemia was the most frequent indication for dialysis. Peritonitis was an important complication and Acinetobacter species accounted for 51.5% of the positive cultures. Other complications included poor dialysate drainage and hypokalemia. Mortality was mainly due to causes unrelated to perito...
متن کامل[Association between hypokalemia, malnutrition and mortality in peritoneal dialysis patients].
INTRODUCTION Hypokalemia is found in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. The problem may be severe and promote mortality. Several factors may trigger the hypokalemia in PD patients, such as preexisting malnutrition and the low protein and potassium food intake. OBJECTIVES To verify the prevalence of hypokalemia and its association with mortality, nutrition status, clinical, laboratory and elec...
