Is there a correlation between immunologic and psychological parameters in peritoneal dialysis patients?

摘要

A 74-year-old PD patient was diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis in early 2011. Parenteral nutrition was started via peripheralintravenous catheter because the patient was markedly malnourished after prolonged hospitalization. She was noted to have phlebitis around the forearm drip site, and the intravenous catheter was immediately changed.
