Icodextrin Causing Glucose Meter Error and Severe Hypoglycemia After Deceased Donor Renal Transplant in a Patient Receiving Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis
Abstract:Hypoglycemia is a frequent problem encountered with diabetics and hospitalized patients. Although point-of-care glucose meters have revolutionized management, there are circumstances wherein glucose meter readings are inaccurate. One such example of glucose meter error occurred in a patient with end-stage renal disease receiving peritoneal dialysis who underwent renal transplantation. After surgery, the patient's laboratory testing reflected hypoglycemia, while point-of-care glucose meter testing indicated hyp… Show more
