Chylous ascites is a rare complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD) and is often mistaken for peritonitis. It usually resolves following conservative management and does not pose any risk to the dialysis procedure. We report the case of a 2-year-old boy, who developed chylous ascites at 36 hours of PD and spontaneously resolved within the next 48 hours.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
