Posted October 4, 20213 yr Do you use Dialysis en extrem preterm less than 500 gr.? In context of anuria (but not after cardiac surgery). Is There an age limit, or a weight limit?.
October 8, 20213 yr I remember a Former 25+2 weeks premie without severe complications who suffered (from insensible water loss because of cutan barrier disturbance) prerenal acute kidney insuffiency und later severe damage at age of 2 and a half weeks. 1150 g. The neonatal/ nephrological Team of an great south german University Hospital tried peritoneal dialysis (with Lot of improvising work on catheters, solutions, leaks, infection) and have succeeed in the end. Respect.
October 11, 20213 yr So I think there are two issues here: 1) Why do you think the child is anuric and what mode of kidney support therapy are you proposing to address the issue? (as an ancillary - what is the end point?) 2) Given the size, is your proposed plan even technically feasible? Assuming you mean PD and not CRRT/iHD, https://bmcnephrol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12882-020-02092-1 provides some experience and suggests that it may at least be technically feasible. Beyond that, I think you'd need to provide more details on the actual circumstances that led you to want to pursue PD for anyone to sensibly answer your question.
