Article Synopsis
- Peritoneal dialysis is a safe and cost-effective treatment for children with acute kidney injury, especially in low-income countries, but is often limited to tertiary healthcare facilities, like in Tanzania.
- A case report highlights a 22-month-old boy who received urgent peritoneal dialysis after suffering kidney injury from a bee sting, albeit under risky conditions at a secondary health facility lacking proper resources.
- The conclusion emphasizes the need for collaboration to enhance the availability and safety of peritoneal dialysis in lower-level facilities, as access to higher-tier hospitals is often insufficient and delayed.
