Abstract
Pulmonary disorders may be due to intrinsic pulmonary pathology or secondary to a pathology in other organs, such as in the renal, cardiovascular or gastrointestinal systems [1, 2]. Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) can present with or may have pulmonary involvement due to fluid overload, anaemia, infection secondary to immunosuppression and, rarely, extra-osseous calcification [3]. Haemodialysis and renal transplantation help in improving the pulmonary symptoms and metabolic derangements in CKD patients, thereby averting such complications [4]. We herein present a case of a 31-year-old female with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who presented with persistent cough.
Can you diagnose this 31-year-old woman with end-stage renal disease and a persistent cough?https://bit.ly/3s7n5VU
