Implication

Case report demonstrates renal transplantation alleviating nephrogenic ascites in a dialysis patient, suggesting potential treatments.

Key Points

  • The aim is to explore the resolution of nephrogenic ascites following renal transplantation in a patient with end-stage renal disease.
  • Case presentation of a 36-year-old male on hemodialysis with nephrogenic ascites.
  • Extensive evaluation to rule out other causes and confirm nephrogenic ascites diagnosis.
  • Management included salt and fluid restriction, high-protein diet, intensive hemodialysis, and therapeutic paracenteses.
  • Patient underwent kidney transplantation from a living related donor.
  • Nephrogenic ascites resolved completely after renal transplantation.
  • Patient exhibited excellent graft function at the 6-month follow-up.
  • Conservative management provided minimal clinical benefit prior to transplantation.
