Do we need to treat dialysis patients differently? Infliximab therapy in a patient with ulcerative colitis on hemodialysis: a case report

This case clearly illustrates the impact of comorbidities and the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in the management of elderly patients with inflammatory bowel disease. We demonstrated that infliximab therapy is effective and safe in the presence of concomitant severe inflammatory bowel disease and end-stage renal disease requiring hemodialysis.

Abstract

This case clearly illustrates the impact of comorbidities and the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in the management of elderly patients with inflammatory bowel disease. We demonstrated that infliximab therapy is effective and safe in the presence of concomitant severe inflammatory bowel disease and end-stage renal disease requiring hemodialysis.
