Resumen
ARISTIZABAL-ALZATE, ARBEY et al. Destructive noninfectious spondyloarthropathy in a hemodialysis patient. Acta Med Colomb [online]. 2022, vol.47, n.1, pp.44-48. Epub 06-Mayo-2022. ISSN 0120-2448. https://doi.org/10.36104/amc.2022.2193.
Destructive spondyloarthropathy is a bone and joint disease which presents in some patients with chronic illnesses and may affect various levels of the spinal column. It may be asymptomatic, cause pain, or produce spinal cord and/or life-endangering complications. We present the case of a 70-year-old man with end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis who consulted due to back pain and paraplegia. He was diagnosed with destructive noninfectious spondyloarthropathy through imaging and histopathological studies. This case shows us the importance of considering this disease and the need for a multidisciplinary approach in its diagnosis and management. (Acta Med Colomb 2022; 47.
