Won Kyoung Jhang, Yoon Jung Lee, Young A Kim, Seong Jong Park, Young Seo Park
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2013;56(7):308-311.   Published online July 19, 2013

In this report, we present a pediatric case of severe symptomatic hypermagnesemia resulting from the use of magnesium oxide as a laxative in a child undergoing continuous cyclic peritoneal dialysis for end-stage renal disease. The patient showed abnormal electrocardiography (ECG) findings, such as tall T waves, a widened QRS complex, and irregular conduction, which were initially misdiagnosed as hyperkalemia; later,...

Peritoneal dialysis is a preferred modality of replacement therapy in children and adolescents with end-stage renal disease waiting for kidney transplantation. Recent development of pediatric swan-neck catheters with cuffs, novel dialysis solutions, and cyclers for automated peritoneal dialysis enabled more flexible prescriptions of dialysis with less complication, and improved patients' activities as well as the dialysis adequacy. Principles and practical...

Many dialysis modalities such as peritoneal dialysis (PD), hemodialysis (HD) and continuous hemofiltration or hemodialysis (CRRT) are available for the management of pediatric patients with acute renal failure (ARF). PD is a relatively simple, inexpensive modality and can be used in hemodynamically unstable patients. But, it may not be the optimal therapy for patients with severe volume overload or life...

Although it is generally accepted that renal transplantation provides the optimal therapy for children with endstage renal disease (ESRD), there is still uncertainty regarding the most suitable form of dialysis for children awaiting transplantation or for chronic therapy in children in whom transplantation is either not possible or unsuccessful. The therapeutic results of chronic maintenance hemodialysis in children with ESRD have been unsatisfactory because...

Recovery of Bilateral Renal Vein Thrombosis after Peritoneal Dialyis in a Newborn Neonate.
Young Mo Sohn, Nan Ae Kim, Sang Hak Park, Ki Young Lee, Pyung Kil Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1981;24(8):772-776.   Published online August 15, 1981
A 4 day old male neonate with severe dehydration, uremia, and hyperbilirubinemia presented with bilateral renal vein thrombosis. Following exchange transfusion and peritoneal dialysis renal function returned to normal without nephrectomy. The importance of adequate and prompt management of renal failure to expect the spontaneous recanalization is stressed. Because of the high mortality rate associated with the nephrectomy in neonates,...
