Introduction: Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis (XGP) is a rare illness that consists of a destructive chronic inflammatory process of the renal parenchyma associated with recurrent infection and obstructions of the urinary tract. Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a form of renal replacement therapy used in advanced kidney disease. PD patients demonstrate a systemic inflammatory state, secondary to the increase in uremic toxins, decreased filtration of proinflammatory cytokines, as well as constant exposure to bioincompatible dialysis solutions or a foreign body reaction from the catheter, among other factors, as peritoneal infections.
