Previous protocols of administration of recombinant human erythropoietin to patients with end-stage renal disease have been by the i.v. route. Because this method would be impractical for the continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patient, we designed an i.p. dosing protocol in uremic rabbits to examine whether significant amounts of this hormone could be absorbed from the peritoneal cavity. Our results demonstrate that almost all of the erythropoietin is absorbed (or adsorbed) during a prolonged dwell when administered undiluted by dialysate.

Reversible Encephalopathy

ABSTRACTWe report a patient with end-stage renal disease on peritoneal dialysis, who developed encephalopathy after receiving a few doses of cefepime. He recovered clinically and electroencephalographically after having discontinued the culprit agent and undergone hemodialysis. This case highlights the importance of promptly recognizing this reversible encephalopathy, which can lead to the avoidance of unnecessary workup, reduce the length of hospital stay, and thereby improve the patients’ outcome.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is a rapidly spreading disease causing increased morbidity and mortality across the globe. There is limited available knowledge regarding the natural history of the SARS-CoV-2 infection. Other factors that are also making this infection spread like a pandemic include global travelers, lack of proven treatment, asymptomatic carriers, potential reinfection, underprepared global health care systems, and lack of public awareness and efforts to prevent further spread. It is understood that certain preexisting medical conditions increase the risk of mortality with COVID-19; however, the outcome of this disease in traditionally vulnerable chronic illnesses such as end-stage renal disease is not well documented. We present a case of a 56-year-old African American lady with end-stage renal disease on the peritoneal dialysis who presented predominantly with nausea, vomiting, and subsequently found to have COVID-19. We use this case to illustrate an atypical presentation of the COVID-19 in a vulnerable patient and discuss the literature.

Twenty diabetics with end-stage renal disease who had never previously received dialysis treatment were treated with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis for periods of two to 36 months (average, 14.5). Intraperitoneal administration of insulin achieved good control of blood sugar Even though creatinine clearance decreased significantly (P = 0.001), contro of blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine was adequate. Hemoglobin and serum albumin levels increased significantly (P = 0.005 and 0.04 respectively). Similarly, there was a significant increase in serum triglycerides and alkaline phosphatase (P = 0.02 and 0.05). Blood pressure became normal without medications in all but one of the patients. Retinopathy, neuropathy, and osteodystrophy remained unchanged. Peritonitis developed once in every 20.6 patient-months a rate similar to that observed in nondiabetics. The calculated survival rate was 92 per cent at one year; the calculated rate of continuation on ambulatory peritoneal dialysis was 87 per cent.

This paper is a review of the literature describing drug disposition in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) during either intermittent peritoneal dialysis (IPD) or continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). The removal of drugs by peritoneal dialysis and drug absorption after intraperitoneal administration are examined. Detailed pharmacokinetic data extracted from the literature are presented in tabular form and are accompanied by specific dosage recommendations for dialyzed patients. Accepted literature values for parameters reflecting the effects of ESRD alone are also included. The construction of a rational dosage regimen with emphasis on the use of the aminoglycosides and the cephalosporins is described.
