Abstract
|
|
|
Secondary hyperparathyroidism is a common complication of chronic kidney disease and known to be associated with soft tissue calcification affecting patients¡¯ morbidity and mortality. However few cases of intestinal calcification related to secondary hyperparathyroidism have been reported. Herein we report a case of peritonitis complicating small intestinal perforation in a patient who had undergone peritoneal dialysis and had sustained hyperparathyroidism. Diffuse calcifications and perforations in small intestine were identified in abdomino-pelvic CT scan as well as in resected small intestine.
Because of relapsing microperforation and resultant intra-abdominal abscess, the patient has been in fasting status depending on total parenteral nutrition for over 8 months after surgery.
