A tingling sensation in the stomach after the evacuation of peritoneal dialysis fluid needs to be considered as a combination of peritonitis.
Peritoneal dialysis is a method of treating uremia stage, and its principle is to instill peritoneal dialysis fluid into the abdominal cavity, and apply the semi-permeable membrane property of the peritoneum to discharge the metabolites in the body through the peritoneal dialysis fluid, so as to play a certain role of substituting for the kidneys in discharging the metabolites.
However, due to the inefficiency of peritoneal dialysis and the breaking of the original confined space of the abdominal cavity, repeated instillation, retention and discharge of peritoneal dialysis fluid into the abdominal cavity can easily lead to infection in the abdominal cavity. In addition to the tingling sensation in the stomach, patients may also manifest abdominal muscle tension and rebound pain, if necessary, can improve the culture of peritoneal fluid to clarify the causative organisms, and then choose the appropriate antibiotics for symptomatic treatment.
It is recommended to consult the nephrology department to identify the cause to avoid delaying the treatment.
