Abstract:
A child developed pleuro-abdominal fistula after 2 years and 8 months on long-term peritoneal dialysis (PD). A comprehensive care package was offered to the child, including recognizing and monitoring the manifestation of pleuro-abdominal fistula, management during the temporary hemodialysis, monitoring the child's condition after the reinitiation of peritoneal dialysis, preventing the high intraperitoneal pressure, psychological supporting for the parents, training of PD related knowledge and practice, and offering nutrition guidance. After 8-week temporary hemodialysis, PD was reinitiated and the transition was smooth. The child was discharged free of any symptom after 14 days of reinitiation.
