To assess complications of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) in uremic patients with and without clinical symptoms by CT peritoneography.A total of 64 patients with end-stage renal disease and on continuous CAPD were investigated. Twenty-eight had some clinical symptoms, which might be related to the complications of CAPD. Thirty-six patients had no complaints or symptoms due to the dialysis treatment.CT peritoneography revealed various complications including hernias (50%), dialysate leakage (46%), localized fluid collection (4%) and peritoneal adhesions (4%) in the patients who had clinical symptoms that might be related to the dialysis treatment. Moreover, similar complications were found in the asymptomatic patients at a lower rate: hernia (3%), dialysate leakage (17%), peritoneal adhesions (3%) and abdominal wall laxity (3%). Complication detection rate by CT peritoneography was 68% (n=19) in the symptomatic patients and 22% (n=8) in the asymptomatic patients. The number of complications found in each group was significant.CT peritoneography was an effective modality in detecting complications from CAPD in patients with and without clinical symptoms. |
