Event or Problem Description
On (b)(6) 2025, a 52-year-old female patient undergoing online hdf therapy with the lixelle s-15 column for dialysis-related amyloidosis developed symptoms consistent with an anaphylaxis-like reaction.At approximately 14:17, she experienced itching on her palms and soles, followed by redness in her right upper limb.By 14:54, she developed widespread rash and severe itching, prompting immediate discontinuation of dialysis.The rash progressed to urticaria, and the patient was urgently transferred to (b)(6) hospital.Upon arrival, itching had improved, but elevated blood pressure and headache persisted.Epinephrine (epipen) was administered, although later determined to be contraindicated for this patient due to her known allergy profile.She was hospitalized for one night and discharged the following day.On (b)(6) a physician diagnosed the event as likely anaphylaxis.The patient has a complex medical history including diabetes-related nephropathy, renal sclerosis, congenital renal agenesis, and dialysis-related amyloidosis.She has multiple drug allergies and had been receiving upasita for approximately one year.While the exact cause of the reaction remains unclear, the lixelle device could not be ruled out and was therefore reported.
