Treatment of a Dialysate Leak by Simultaneous Catheter Removal and Replacement in a Patient Undergoing Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis.

Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (PD) is one of the treatment methods used for end-stage renal failure. When mechanical complications occur with this treatment method, methods such as tomographic peritoneography, abdominal scintigraphy, and magnetic resonance peritoneography are used to uncover the problem. Here, we report the detection by tomographic peritoneography of a subcutaneous dialysate leak in a patient undergoing PD.
