Key result
A 74-year-old male with asymptomatic uremic pericarditis was successfully treated with hemodialysis without ultrafiltration, preventing unnecessary fluid removal and potential circulatory disruption.
Why the study?
Although dialysis therapy is reported for uremic pericarditis, the necessity of ultrafiltration for fluid removal during treatment has not been examined.
Does hemodialysis without ultrafiltration improve uremic pericarditis in a patient with end-stage renal disease?

Does hemodialysis without ultrafiltration improve uremic pericarditis in a patient with end-stage renal disease?
Hemodialysis without ultrafiltration can effectively treat uremic pericarditis with massive effusion while preventing circulatory collapse from low-pressure cardiac tamponade.
Hypothesis-generating for avoiding ultrafiltration in asymptomatic uremic pericarditis; prospective studies needed before clinical adoption.

Yamamoto et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Uremic pericarditis (n=1). Hemodialysis without ultrafiltration was evaluated. A 74-year-old male with asymptomatic uremic pericarditis was successfully treated with hemodialysis without ultrafiltration, preventing unnecessary fluid removal and potential circulatory disruption.
