Abstract

Adult Female Humans Jejunum - blood supply Peritoneal Dialysis, Continuous Ambulatory - adverse effects Telangiectasis - etiology
Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) are at an increased risk of bleeding. We report the case of a 40-year-old female, on peritoneal dialysis for ESRD, who presented with profound anemia; she was later found to have a bleeding jejunal dialysis-associated telangiectasia. We review the literature published to date on dialysis-associated telangiectasia and discuss the possible underling etiologies.
