Uremic Pericarditis: Distinguishing Features in a Now-Uncommon Clinical Syndrome

Abstract: We present the case of a 47-year-old man with a history of diabetes mellitus and diabetic nephropathy who was admitted to our hospital with acute uremic myopericarditis. Echocardiography demonstrated a fibrinous pericardial effusion. The patient was initiated on hemodialysis for hyperkalemia, metabolic acidosis, and uremia. He subsequently developed shock from cardiac tamponade, which required emergent pericardiocentesis. He was notably without tachycardia while he was hypotensive, and his admission electrocar… Show more

“…The noninfectious causes include the following: i) autoimmune diseases like systemic lupus erythematosus [ 15 , 16 ], Sjogren syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, Behcet syndrome, Takayatsu arteritis, sarcoidosis, eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis, and Horton disease, ii) metabolic causes such as uremia [ 17 ] and myxedema, iii) traumatic causes such as esophageal perforation and penetrating thoracic injury, iv) Iatrogenic causes such as post-myocardial infarction syndromes, post-pericardiotomy syndromes, post-coronary percutaneous intervention syndromes, and pericarditis post-pacemaker lead insertion. Other causes include drug-related causes, amyloidosis, chronic heart failure, aortic dissection, pulmonary arterial hypertension, and congenital absence of the pericardium [ 18 ].…”

“…Широкая распространенность данного заболевания отчасти обусловлена его полиэтиологичностью и ассоциацией с рядом жизнеугрожающих состояний, симптомами которых являются перикардиальный выпот, воспаление или констриктивный перикардит. На первое место у пациентов молодого возраста выходят идиопатические и вирусные заболевания сердечной сумки, чаще определяются бактериальные, в том числе туберкулезные воспалительные экссудаты, а также посттравмотические осложнения [4,5], а у больных старшей возрастной группы преобладают перикардиальные выпоты, обусловленные сердечной недостаточностью, острым инфарктом миокарда (синдром Дресслера), встречаются уремические и неопластические перикардиты, а также реактивные и специфические реакции, возникшие в ответ на хирургическое вмешательство на открытом сердце, прием ряда лекарственных препаратов (например, прокаинамида и гидралазина), лучевую терапию [1,6].…”
