Abstract EN
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disorder that mainly affects the colon and rectum.
Immunological derangements are associated with the pathogenesis of UC.
Many patients with UC also have chronic kidney disease, associated with immunological disorders and/or pharmacotherapy for UC.
Some patients with UC may develop end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and require renal replacement therapy.
However, little is known clinically about ESRD patients who develop UC or about patients with UC who develop ESRD.
This report describes an elderly patient with ESRD who presented with fever and bloody diarrhea and was finally diagnosed as UC (pancolitis type) at dialysis initiation.
The patient was successfully treated with a series of immunosuppressive agents.
This report highlights the importance of considering UC as a potential cause of bloody stool and fever in patients with ESRD.
