- Immunodeficient patients are at risk for fungal infections, but these usually don't lead to peritonitis; however, a 66-year-old man with multiple myeloma and diabetes developed peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis from Enterococcus avium.
- A CT scan showed a gastric mass and colon thinning, leading to the discovery of complications like gastrointestinal perforation and mucormycosis after emergency surgery.
- Despite treatment with liposomal amphotericin B, the patient died 55 days later, highlighting the need for early diagnosis in immunocompromised individuals, especially those with risk factors like steroid use and diabetes.
Background: Differences in the predictive value of daytime systolic blood pressure (SBP) and night-time SBP by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring on renal outcomes have not been fully investigated in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. This study compared the prognostic value between daytime and night-time SBP on renal outcomes in CKD.
Methods and results: This prospective observational study included 421 patients.
