abstract：:The development of pleural effusions in ESRD patients is a relatively common occurrence. Uremia, currently a rare cause of effusion, can lead to the development of hemorrhagic pleural fluid collections in patients who are underdialyzed. Uremic pleural effusions should be considered when common etiologies of effusions ...
