Anorexia in a hemodialysis patient due to pneumatosis intestinalis: A case report

We report a case of pneumatosis intestinalis (PI) in a hemodialysis patient who presented with anorexia and nausea. Anorexia with postprandial nausea can be caused by gastrointestinal diseases, with one of the rare causes being PI. PI may occur in hemodialysis patients, but it is rarely reported. We...

description We report a case of pneumatosis intestinalis (PI) in a hemodialysis patient who presented with anorexia and nausea. Anorexia with postprandial nausea can be caused by gastrointestinal diseases, with one of the rare causes being PI. PI may occur in hemodialysis patients, but it is rarely reported. We experienced a case of benign PI in a hemodialysis patient, for whom the conservative treatment with antibiotics improved the patient's clinical symptoms. In patients with PI, it is important to rule out potentially life‐threatening complications, such as the presence of hepatic intraportal gas on CT scan.
