RESUMEN
Gastrointestinal manifestations are common among patients with advanced kidney disease. Common symptoms include poor appetite, nausea, and vomiting. Prevalent lesions include esophagitis, gastritis, and duodenitis. Uremia-associated colitis is extremely rare. In this case report we present a young patient who present with end-stage kidney disease of unknown origin accompanied by abdominal pain and vomiting. Computed tomography showed severe bowel wall thickening of the colon. Due to extreme uremic state uremia-associated colitis was suspected and hemodialysis was initiated immediately, resulted in clinical and radiology improvement.
