A 46-year old male was admitted to the University Medical Center (UMC) hospital with the following symptoms of anuria, abdominal fullness, hypotension, exertional dyspnea, and peripheral edema. The purpose of his visit was the insertion of a peritoneal dialysis catheter. He had chronic kidney disease stage 5 as a consequence of diabetic nephropathy, liver cirrhosis due to hepatitis C infection, and HIV. His disease course was further complicated by the presence of a urinary tract infection. As a result of his multiple comorbidities, he underwent a complex treatment regimen which included renal replacement therapy with ultrafiltration, blood transfusions for his anemia, platelet transfusions for his thrombocytopenia, albumin infusion for his hypoalbuminemia, and antibiotic treatment for his concurrent infection. Additionally, he received diuretic treatment for his hypervolemia and anti-hypertensives to control his blood pressure. After peritoneal dialysis (PD) insertion, the patient successfully underwent PD and was discharged home.
