Abstract:
Abdominal wall leakage of dialysate in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients is uncommon complication. We experienced one case of abdominal wall leakage in CAPD patient confirmed by CT peritoneography. She complained weight gain, decreased ultrafiltration volume, and localized abdominal wall edema without clinical evidence of hernia. CT peritoneography of the abdomen showed leakage of contrast dye from the site of insertion of the CAPD catheter into the anterior abdominal wall. The dialysate was completely drained and CAPD was discontinued. She was switched temporally to hemodialysis and abdominal wall edema disappeared. When CAPD was restarted seven days later, the edema appeared. After CAPD catheter was removed and reinserted at the opposite site, she returned to CAPD without leakage.
