Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: to describe the indications, outcomes, and complications of 5 neonates who underwent acute peritoneal dialysis (APD). Materials and method: case-series study was conducted. Medical records of patients who underwent PD between 1 January 2016 and 1 March 2022 in Children’s hospital 2 HCMC were retrospectively reviewed. Results: All patients were full-term, with 3 male and 2 female infants. One case of hyperkalemia, and four cases of acute kidney injury were not resolved with conservative treatment, requiring APD. The effects of APD increased urine output, decreased serum creatinine, and improvement of hyperkalemia. APD-related complications were leakage from the catheter entrance, catheter exit-site infection, the catheter obstruction. Conclusion: Acute peritoneal dialysis that is a simple renal replacement method might effective and safe method in neonates.
