Abstract
|
|
|
Peritoneal dialysis can be considered renal supportive therapy, even in an extremely low birth weight infant with acute kidney injury not responding to general supportive measures. Although there have been several reports of successful peritoneal dialysis in extremely low birth weight infants, general practice guidelines and commercially available optimal peritoneal dialysis catheters have not been introduced.
We report a successful case of peritoneal dialysis in an extremely low birth weight infant born at 25 weeks gestational age, with birth weight 790 g, with uncontrollable metabolic acidosis, hyperkalemia, progressive azotemia and continued anuria.
