Abstract
End stage renal disease (ESRD) patients who are on maintenance hemodialysis (HD) develop pleural effusion in about 3 % of cases. Major causes associated with pleural effusion in ESRD patients are fluid overload, congestive cardiac failure, infections (mainly pleural TB), and pulmonary embolism respectively.The usual approach to manage this effusion is by doing regular dialysis and try achieving dry weight of patient. Dry weight is the lowest body weight of patients on hemodialysis patients when they are clinically normo-volemic and normotensive after dialysis.
