Key result
A patient with systemic sclerosis and end-stage renal disease experienced complications from both peritoneal and haemodialysis, highlighting potential shared mechanisms in disease pathogenesis.
Case Report (n=1)
Patients with systemic sclerosis and ESRD may face unique and severe complications from both peritoneal and haemodialysis, potentially due to shared fibrotic mechanisms.
May signal heightened dialysis risks in systemic sclerosis with ESRD; hypothesis-generating for shared fibrotic mechanisms.
We present the case of a patient with systemic sclerosis (SSc) and end stage renal disease (ESRD) who experienced complications of both peritoneal and haemodialysis. We review previously reported outcomes of patients with systemic sclerosis on dialysis and discuss potential shared mechanisms in both the disease pathogenesis and dialysis-related complications, particularly with regards to encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS).

Brown et al. (2012) conducted a case report in Systemic sclerosis and end stage renal disease (n=1). Peritoneal and haemodialysis was evaluated on Dialysis-related complications. A patient with systemic sclerosis and end-stage renal disease experienced complications from both peritoneal and haemodialysis, highlighting potential shared mechanisms in disease pathogenesis.
