Abstract

Ascites occurring in individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD) undergoing hemodialysis (HD) are referred to as nephrogenic ascites (NA). The pathogenesis of NA remains uncertain but involves many interrelated factors. These factors include inadequate dialysis, low ultrafiltration, poor nutrition, increased peritoneal membrane permeability, and impaired peritoneal lymphatic reabsorption. Frequent accompanying complaints are leg edema, nausea, decreased appetite, weakness, and complaints due to hypotension during HD. NA generally carries a poor long-term prognosis, likewise, with complex therapeutic options, both medical and surgical. Management of NA includes education regarding fluid restrictions, a high protein diet, intensive HD, as well as therapeutic modalities with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) and kidney transplantation. CAPD has been proven to improve quality of life and recovery from ascites. The NA in this case report was all related to the patient's low level of compliance against fluid intake restrictions, particularly while experiencing oliguria or anuria. In this case, intensive education regarding limiting fluid intake and high-protein nutrition seems essential for better patient outcomes. On the other hand, the presence of infectious complications gives poor outcomes. Two patients presented with umbilical hernia, which could be an obstacle for CAPD.

Abstract

Amyloidosis is a disorder in which soluble proteins aggregate and are deposited extracellularly in tissues as insoluble fibrils, causing progressive organ dysfunction. Amyloid fibril formation begins with misfolding of amyloidogenic precursor proteins. The fibrils have a characteristic appearance by electron microscopy and produce double refraction under polarized light when stained with Congo red dye. Classification of amyloidosis is based on the precursor proteins that form amyloid fibrils and the distribution of amyloid deposition both systemically and locally. The main form of systemic amyloidosis; AL amyloid, AA amyloidosis, ATTR amyloid. The kidney is the organ most frequently involved in systemic amyloidosis. Systemic amyloidosis may originate from anomalous proteins, such as immunoglobulin light chains or serum amyloid protein in chronic inflammation or may arise from hereditary disorders. The clinical manifestations of renal amyloidosis vary with the type of amyloid protein and the location and extent of amyloid deposition. Treatment of amyloidosis should be a two-part process; managing symptoms and reducing or stabilizing amyloid protein. Treatment of amyloidosis is focused on reducing the production of amyloidogenic proteins and inhibiting their aggregation.
