Gustatory sweating recurring on peritoneal dialysis but resolving during periods of hemodialysis.
Hemodialysis International 2008 April
Gustatory sweating is a rare disorder characterized by profuse sweating on the forehead, face, scalp, and neck occurring soon after ingesting food, which has been reported in diabetic patients. The mechanism is thought to be triggered by taste buds and not gastric stimulation. We report a case where gustatory sweating repeatedly developed on peritoneal dialysis that resolved on periods of hemodialysis. A 32-year-old woman with diabetic end-stage renal disease developed gustatory sweating shortly after beginning continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis despite excellent clearances. After 5 months, she changed to hemodialysis for 2 months and noticed complete resolution of her gustatory sweating; however, after her return to peritoneal dialysis 2 months later, her gustatory sweating recurred. While on peritoneal dialysis, she was treated with clonidine, which resulted in improvement but not resolution of her symptoms as had occurred on hemodialysis. Another period on hemodialysis resulted in the resolution of her symptoms that returned again after restarting peritoneal dialysis. Clonidine provided incomplete relief while topical glycopyrrolate was effective and without complications. We report recurrent gustatory sweating on peritoneal dialysis that resolved with hemodialysis. We have no data to suggest that intra-abdominal stimulation played a role, but rather that despite excellent clearances neuropathy may have played a role. Treatment with topical glycopyrrolate may be safe and effective given every third day if clonidine is ineffective.
