Abstract
A 2-year-old African boy presented with fever, acute gastroenteritis and shock as a result of malaria-associated sepsis. He subsequently developed acute kidney injury (AKI) with symptomatic hyperkalaemia, not responsive to fluid resuscitation and conservative therapy. Acute peritoneal dialysis (PD) was commenced using a bedside catheter insertion technique, making use of a chest drain as a PD catheter and ‘home-made’ dialysis fluid. He was dialysed for 36 h and made a spontaneous recovery with return of kidney function prior to discharge.
