• How successful is Sx for scrotal edema (possible patent processus vaginalis) in a patient on PD? Is their recurrence after Sx? Is this a more significant problem in this patient who as ADPKD with moderately enlarged kidneys? Should Sx correction be attempted at all or patient just switched to hemodialysis?
• CCPD (last fill only 500ml for day dwell)pt had shoulder pain and felt due ot air in line, assessment of effluent clear per pt. I feel poss. slightly hazy (not a for sure cloudy)(hard for me to tell due to only 500ml in drain bag) pt off and on reports abdomen soreness only mild. PD Cell count noted WBC 219 with neutrophils only 10. Lymphs 6, eosinophils 0, Mesotheial cells 8, and monocytes 76. Pt still working and not affected by it. Treating her as if she has peritontis but does she really. Do I count this as an infection. Gram stain and cultures with no growth after one day. She is not a diabetic. I was also wondering about the elevation in monocytes instead of the neutrophils. Please advise. Thanks!
