Overview

Renal failure can be associated with the development of a pericardial effusion and pericarditis, a condition known as uremic pericarditis. The underlying pathophysiology is not entirely clear, but it is hypothesized that uremic pericarditis is due to a build up of metabolic toxins such as urea, creatinine, methylguanidine which cause inflammation of pericardium. With the introduction of dialysis, the incidence of uremic pericarditis has dropped[1].
