Late Peritoneal Dialysis Exit-Site Leak: A Case Report

Abstrak

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) pericatheter exit-site leaks most commonly occur early, within 30 days of catheter insertion. Late exit-site leaks are rare. The distinction between early and late exit-site leaks is important because the causes and subsequent management strategies may be different. Early leaks can often be first treated by delaying or holding PD therapy, allowing the prolongation of the healing time because fibrous tissue continues to form around the deep cuff. Late leaks are less likely to heal with cessation of PD alone and often require PD catheter replacement. In this case report, we provide an overview of the diagnosis and management of PD catheter exit-site leaks while highlighting a case of a late presenting exit-site leak resulting from a unique cause of PD catheter trauma.
