September 2024
General Practice, Universidad Anáhuac Querétaro, Querétaro, MEX.
Article Synopsis
- A pleuroperitoneal fistula is a rare complication from peritoneal dialysis where there’s an abnormal connection between the abdominal cavity and the chest cavity, leading to issues like fluid buildup in the lungs.
