SVCS constitutes a serious clinical problem and often represents a definitive loss of vascular access for haemodialysis (HD). The patients must suffer numerous interventions in order to obtain a permanent vascular access for HD. Treatment of SVCS requires endovascular intervention or complex surgical revascularization. We present three patients with SVCS associated with central indwelling catheters for HD who were switched to peritoneal dialysis (PD) due to complete HD blood access failure, and discuss the evolution on PD.

Improvement of lactic acidosis in pyruvate dehydrogenase complex deficiency using custom-made amino acid-based dialysate for peritoneal dialysis.
Pediatr Nephrol

Department of Paediatrics, Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Hong Kong, China.
This case report presents a newborn with pyruvate dehydrogenase complex deficiency who developed significant lactic acidosis and acute kidney injury after birth. Peritoneal dialysis with glucose-based peritoneal dialysis fluid was initially started, but the patient had worsening hyperglycemia and lactic acidosis, likely related to excess glucose reabsorption with shunting to lactate due to the underlying metabolic disorder. As amino acid-based dialysis solution was not available in our formulary, a dialysis fluid was manually created with Vaminolact, which was commonly used in neonatal parenteral nutrition.

Introduction: The annual Brazilian Dialysis Survey (BDS) supports and contributes to the development of national health policies. Objective: To report the 2023 epidemiological data from the BDS of the Brazilian Society of Nephrology (BSN).
Methods: A survey was carried out in a voluntary sample of Brazilian chronic dialysis centers using an online questionnaire covering clinical and epidemiological aspects of patients on chronic dialysis, and characteristics of dialysis centers.

is a very rare pathogen that causes intracranial infection. It is commonly found in immunocompromised patients and is resistant to multiple antibiotics. In this case report, we present a case of human central nervous system infection caused by , which was initially misdiagnosed as demyelinating disease due to the specific imaging findings.

Background: Peritoneal fibrosis is a serious complication of long-term peritoneal dialysis (PD) and abdominal surgeries, yet effective treatments remain elusive. Given the known roles of mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells in immune responses and fibrotic diseases, we investigated their involvement in PD-induced peritoneal fibrosis to identify potential therapeutic targets.
Methods: We employed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and flow cytometry to characterize the activation and function of peritoneal MAIT cells in patients undergoing long-term PD.
Co-Producing Peritoneal Dialysis Nursing Sensitive Indicators for Quality Care: A Multinational Consensus Building Design.
J Ren Care
March 2025
Department of Renal Medicine, Aarhus University Hospital, Aarhus, Denmark.
Background: Nursing sensitive indicators are a way of measuring aspects of patient care that are most affected by the actions of the nurse. Despite the existence of nursing sensitive indicators, these are largely not suitable to measure peritoneal dialysis nursing practice.
Objective: This project aimed to co-develop a set of peritoneal dialysis nursing-sensitive indicators.
