Home dialysis: its costs and problems.

A short description is given of the starting and the running of a home dialysis unit for chronic renal failure. The cost of training and treating 22 home dialysis patients, over an 18-month period is recorded. The annual maintenance costs of patients on home hemodialysis are found to be no more, and often less, than those of the institutional care of any other chronic malady. Furthermore, the prospects for full rehabilitation are good. This being so, home dialysis cannot be regarded as a costly luxury but a treatment which every suitable candidate may reasonably expect.

Procainamide-induced lupus erythematosus: report of a case with a large pericardial effusion and fluid analysis.

A patient with procainamide lupus erythematosus had a large pericardial effusion. As in other reported cases histology revealed a fibrinous mononuclear pericarditis and the pericardial fluid was a serosanguinous inflammatory exudate with a high LDH level and normal glucose concentration. The ANF and LE cell preparation were positive in the fluid but the C3 complement was normal. The frequency of pericarditis is similar in systemic and drug-induced lupus erythematosus yet low complement levels need not occur. Complement activation may therefore be unnecessary for the development of either type of lupus pericarditis.
