Low back pain is a common complaint among some patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD).\u00a0 An increasing inward curvature of the spine (lordosis) can occur with increased intra-abdominal pressure and poor muscle tone, giving rise to sometimes severe discomfort in some patients.\u00a0 The pain can result from paraspinal muscle spasm, sciatica, and posterior facet disease(1).<\/p>\n

Treatment<\/h4>\n

General therapeutic measures include back exercises and judicious use of skeletal muscle relaxants and anti-inflammatory agents. Causes of low back pain unrelated to dialysis should be investigated. Specific measures for PD patients include decreasing the dialysate volume and transfer to automated peritoneal dialysis (APD), which reduces the daily exchange volume and subsequently the intra-abdominal pressure(2,3).\u00a0 If all of these measures fail, transfer to hemodialysis may be required(2).<\/p>\n
