Ascites associated with end-stage renal disease. 1987

Z Glück, and K D Nolph

Patient characteristics, clinical outcomes, and proposed pathophysiologic mechanisms are reviewed in 138 patients reported in the literature to have had ascites associated with end-stage renal disease. Contributing mechanisms may include fluid overload, peritoneal membrane changes (not necessarily related to peritoneal dialysis), hypoproteinemia, and lymphatic drainage disturbances. In 15% of cases, extensive evaluations may reveal an underlying disease. The most effective therapy may be kidney transplantation.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007676 Kidney Failure, Chronic The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.
