“…A more severe bleeding can be associated with the rupture of ovarian corpus luteum cysts. Other causes of hemoperitoneum [126] are acute catheter insertion, with clearing of the effluent following few in-and-out exchanges, bleeding following omentectomy or other intra-abdominal surgery, coagulopathy or anticoagulant therapy, and heavy physical activity. In children, trauma to the abdomen or the catheter is a relatively common cause of bleeding.…”

In children with chronic kidney disease stage 5D peritoneal dialysis (PD) remains the dialysis modality most commonly prescribed, especially as automated PD. Nowadays it can be started from the first days of life on, and applied even to some preterm babies. This chapter gives an overview on PD membrane ultrastructure and function, on technical prerequistes of PD, on optimal PD prescription and on specific treatment targets and tools to monitor efficacy. It describes PD related infectious and noninfectious complications, long term peritoneal and systemic sequelae and current state of the art of how these can be mitigated or even be prevented.

“…The incidence of hemoperitoneum in children is likely lower than in adult PD patients but is difficult to ascertain accurately [126]. Italian Registry data reported an incidence of 1.3 % in 363 children of less than 15 years of age at dialysis initiation [225].…”
