[A surgically treated case with lung cancer on maintenance hemodialysis].
Maintenance hemodialysis for chronic renal failure has spread all over the country, and the number of patients in whom surgical indications are considered to concomitant diseases has been increasing. A 76-year-old male was admitted due to lung cancer on maintenance hemodialysis. The chest roentgenogram showed a 2.5 cm sized coin lesion in the right middle lung field. Preoperative examinations, chest tomography, chest CT-scanning, bone scintigraphy, bronchofiberscopic biopsy, etc. led to a diagnosis of primary lung cancer (squamous cell carcinoma). Hemodialysis with prescribing nafamostat mesilate (40 mg/hour) was performed the day before the operation and on the first, fourth and sixth postoperative days. There was no postoperative bleeding. The patient has been well for 27 months postoperatively.
