Abstract
|
|
|
|
We report a case of retroperitoneal and scrotal dialysate leakage resulting from peritoneal-retroperitoneal communication in a patient on peritoneal dialysis (PD). The ultrafiltration volume was reduced and the scrotum became enlarged in a patient who had been undergoing PD for 4 years. Retroperitoneal and scrotal leakage of dialysate was confirmed by computed tomography (CT) performed 1 hour after the intraperitoneal infusion of contrast-containing dialysate. The PD was halted and the patient was transferred to hemodialysis (HD). One month after the transfer to HD, the PD was resumed and there were no signs of extraperitoneal leakage.
