Article Synopsis
- Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a common treatment for patients with polycystic kidney disease.
- In cases of severe polycystic kidney and liver disease, there can be hidden issues with blood flow in the liver that might lead to fluid accumulation (ascites) after a PD catheter is placed.
- A specific case is presented where a patient experienced ascites post-PD catheter implantation, which worsened after undergoing a unilateral nephrectomy (removal of one kidney).
