End stage rena! disease patients are prone for pericardial diseases including pericarditis, pericardial effusion and chronic constrictive pericarditis. Pericardial effusion occurs more frequently in patients on maintenance hemodialysis than peritoneal dialysis. We present a case of asymptomatic large pericardial effusion with evidence of near tamponade on echocardiogram in a lady, 6 month after initiation of peritoneal dialysis who was on anti tuberculosis thempy. Pericardiocentesis showed a hemorrhagic exudative effusion.
