Abstract
Although the incidence of uremic pericarditis was high in the past, it has decreased in recent decades with early and appropriate dialysis. However, cardiac tamponade caused by uremic pericarditis is still a life-threatening emergency and it requires urgent management. Herein we report a case of 38-year-old man with chronic renal disease who represented critical uremic pericarditis followed by cardiac tamponade despite of appropriate hemodialysis. Careful consideration of risk factors and aggressive treatment are very important for effective and safe treatment of uremic pericarditis and cardiac tamponade.
Key Words: Cardiac tamponade, Pericardial effusion, Pericardiocentesis, Renal replacement therapy, Uremi
