“…Bowel wall thickening is associated with a more advanced stage of disease (Fig 25). Early recognition of this complication, followed by immediate cessation of CAPD and initiation of an alternative form of dialysis, may prevent potentially fatal disease progression (17,18). There is a paucity of evidence for determining the optimal treatment of sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis.…”

“…These complications may lead to localized edema and poor drainage of dialysate and thereby lessen the effectiveness of CAPD (16). Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis is a grave and potentially fatal complication that must be detected early to allow timely cessation of CAPD (17,18). Hepatic subcapsular steatosis is another potential complication of CAPD that must be accurately differentiated from more serious pathologic entities (7).…”

Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) is used to treat end-stage renal failure in an increasing number of patients. CAPD has an advantage over hemodialysis in that it allows patients greater freedom to perform daily activities; it also provides other clinical benefits. However, the long-term effectiveness of CAPD is limited by complications, which have various causes. Complications with an infectious cause include bacterial peritonitis, tuberculous peritonitis, and infections of the catheter exit site and tunnel. Noninfectious complications include catheter dysfunction, dialysate leakage, hernias, and sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis. Many imaging modalities-radiography, ultrasonography, peritoneal scintigraphy, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging-are useful for characterizing these complications. CT peritoneography and MR peritoneography are techniques specifically suited to this purpose. Imaging plays a critical role in ensuring that complications are detected early and managed appropriately.
