End stage renal disease (ESRD) population account for 1.9 per patient year of
hospital admissions annually. ESRD population are at increased risk of bleeding
secondary to use of anticoagulation during hemodialysis and uremia induced
platelet dysfunction. Gastrointestinal bleeding accounts for 3-7% of all deaths
in ESRD population. Lower gastrointestinal bleeding refers to blood loss from a
site in the gastrointestinal tract distal to the ligament of Treitz. It is
usually suspected when a patient complains of hematochezia. It is different from
patients presenting with hematemesis that suggests bleeding from upper
gastrointestinal tract. Common causes of lower gastrointestinal bleed include
diverticulosis, ischemia, hemorrhoids, neoplasia, angiodysplasia, and
inflammatory bowel disease. ESRD patients are known to retain phosphate alone or
in combination with calcium which has been associated with high mortality.
Sevelamer is a phosphate binder used widely in ESRD population. The known side
effects of sevelamer include metabolic acidosis, vomiting, nausea, diarrhea,
dyspepsia, abdominal pain, constipation, flatulence, fecal impaction, and skin
rash. We are reporting a unique case of a 56-year-old female with end stage renal
disease on sevelamer hydrochloride who presented with gastrointestinal bleeding
and underwent a right hemicolectomy found to have sevelamer-induced mucosal
ulceration and crystal deposition in the colonic mucosa. This case report
highlights the fact that, with widespread use of this medication in the patients
with chronic kidney diseases, physicians should be aware of this underrecognized
entity in the differential diagnosis of gastrointestinal bleed in ESRD patients.
