Abstract
Introduction: Peritoneal dialysis (PD) has been demonstrated to be advantageous in the treatment of patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), especially in children. However, patients undergoing PD may experience mechanical problems such as catheter blockages. Obstruction of catheters mainly occur due to bowel dilatation and adhesion of the omentum but also can be caused by fibrin clots, constipation, peritonitis, and surgical procedures.
Case presentation: We reported a case of PD catheter adhesion to the ileum in a 1-year-old girl. Previously, the patient underwent laparoscopic insertion of PD catheter due to ESKD. One month after the procedure, there were signs of catheter obstruction. Laparoscopy evaluation and revision were carried out.
Conclusion: PD catheter malfunction is primarily due to obstruction; early laparoscopic intervention should be considered to address adhesion to other organs, preventing complications and PD discontinuation.
期刊介绍:
This peer-reviewed online-only journal publishes original case reports covering the entire spectrum of nephrology and dialysis, including genetic susceptibility, clinical presentation, diagnosis, treatment or prevention, toxicities of therapy, critical care, supportive care, quality-of-life and survival issues. The journal will also accept case reports dealing with the use of novel technologies, both in the arena of diagnosis and treatment. Supplementary material is welcomed.
