High-volume peritoneal dialysis rescues a severe influenza A child with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome / 中华实用儿科临床杂志

ABSTRACT

A 3-year-old girl was hospitalized for cough and asthma for 2 days, and fever and anuria for 1 day in Department of Pediatrics, Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology in January 2019.Retrospective analysis was used.She developed end-stage renal disease and received peritoneal dialysis 6 months ago.After admission, she was diagnosed as acute-on-chronic renal failure, respiratory failure, heart failure, severe influenza A (H1N1). The patient was rapidly recovered by the management of high-volume peritoneal dialysis, mechanical ventilation, and medications of Peramivir and Methylprednisolone.Through literature review, case report or cohort study about the treatment of acute kidney disease by high-volume peritoneal dialysis has not been previously reported.This case report suggested that high-volume peritoneal dialysis is able to effectively remove solutes and control volume without causing severe hypoproteinemia and hyperglycemia, which may become an effective renal replacement therapy for children with multi-organ dysfunction syndrome.
