Pleuroperitoneal communication on peritoneal dialysis patients - presentation o...
Martins,Ana Rita; Branco,Patrícia; Gonçalves,Margarida; Marques,Marta; Afonso,Sophia P; Gaspar,Augusta; Barata,José DiogoPeritoneal dialysis is an established treatment option for patients with end-stage renal disease. As this procedure causes high pressure in the abdomen, it might lead to peritoneopleural leakage (hydrothorax). The latter is an uncommon non-infectious complication of peritoneal dialysis patients, possibly secondary to trans-diaphragmatic fluid leakage through a pleuroperitoneal communication. The aetiology of th...
