May warrant consideration of pericardial pseudocysts in hemodialysis; Level 5 evidence leaves causality and prevalence open.
Case Report (n=2)
Pericardial pseudocyst should be considered as a potential complication in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis.
Kuroda et al. (2008) conducted a case report in Pericardial pseudocyst (n=2). Maintenance hemodialysis was evaluated on Development of pericardial pseudocyst. Maintenance hemodialysis was associated with the development of pericardial pseudocysts in two patients, likely due to increased intrapericardial pressure.
