Risk calculators and risk factors for Uremic pericarditis treatment

Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]; Associate Editor-In-Chief: Varun Kumar, M.B.B.S.; Lakshmi Gopalakrishnan, M.B.B.S.

Treatment

  • NSAIDs may be used in treatment of chest pain secondary to pericarditis. In case of recurrent pericardial effusion, pericardiotomy where a pericardial window for drainage of effusion may be made. In large refractory effusion, intra pericardial instillation of non-absorbable corticosteroids may be considered[4][5].
  • Pericardiectomy should be done in refractory and severely symptomatic patients.
  • Appropriate antivirals or antibiotics should be used in treatment of infective pericarditis which may occur in immunocompromised states resulting after renal transplantation[6].
