ACUTE PANCREATITIS ASSOCIATED WITH CONTINUOUS AMBULATORY PERITONEAL DIALYSIS

Abstract

Acute pancreatitis is a relatively rare complication of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) treatment. Diagnosis of acute pancreatitis may be difficult. It should also be considered in cases of culture-negative perotinitis. We are presenting a 38 year old female with rarely encountered acute pancreatitis resulting in pancreatic pseudocyts and obstruction.
