Constrictive Pericarditis in a Hemodialysis Patient Who Presented with Rapidly Progressive Pericardial Calcification: A Diagnostic Challenge – A Case Report
An important finding was that, unlike calcific lesions in the general dialysis population, the patient's calcific lesions were mostly confined to the pericardium and progressed on a monthly basis. Thus, the present case may provide deep insight into the diagnosis of CP and the management of hemodialysis patients with severe hypotension.
