Description

Takahiko Hoshino and colleagues present a 2026 case report on non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia, gut damage from poor blood flow without a blocked vessel, in a man on combined dialysis. The patient, a Japanese man in his 60s with kidney failure from diabetes, used both belly dialysis and blood dialysis. He was in hospital for spine surgery when the crisis struck.

Recovery from spine surgery went well until sudden belly pain and cloudy dialysis fluid suggested belly infection. Antibiotics into the belly failed, and scans showed poorly supplied colon wall with gas inside it. Emergency surgery confirmed the flow failure, and surgeons removed the damaged gut and made an opening for waste. He recovered and left hospital on blood dialysis three times a week. The authors note no prior case on combined dialysis and call for more reports.
