Uremic Pericarditis and Cardiac Tamponade Resolving With Intensive Hemodialysis. - 2024

We present an interesting and complex case of cardiac tamponade due to uremic pericarditis (UP), resolving with intensive hemodialysis (HD). HD should be considered as first line management for patients with UP and pericardial effusion. Intensification of HD should be considered based on clinical presentation and severity of presentation.
