The Story of a Young Man Born in 1967 on Dialysis for 44 Years Duranti Ennio<p>A man born in 1967, was affected by Prune-Belly Syndrome, kyphosis, respiratory failure, and convulsive episodes. In addition, he had also undergone surgery to reconstruct his urinary tract and bladder. At 7 years of age, a Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) was diagnosed and in 1979 he began haemodialysis, at the Siena hospital. From 1980 he continued Hemodialysis (HD) three times a week in Arezzo Hospital and therefore this year he “completed” 44 years of extracorporeal dialysis.&nbsp;</p><p>He has never been declared suitable for transplant due to bladder malposition and respiratory insufficiency. Despite congenital physical problems and dialysis the patient leads a normal social life, is politically and socially engaged, and is one of the patients of our Dialysis Center who is most attentive to the needs of other dialysis and transplant patients.&nbsp;</p> Archives of Renal Diseases and Management - Peertechz Publications 2024-12-17 Case Report https://doi.org/10.17352/2455-5495.000047 en Copyright © Duranti Ennio et al.
