Abstract

A large number of patients suffer from Stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD). One of the treatment options used in these patients is continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (PD), which is known to improve patient quality of life. 15-50% of Stage 5 chronic kidney disease patients are on PD in the USA. The PD catheter maybe inserted into the abdominal cavity by a surgeon, an interventional radiologist or a nephrologist. We report the most unusual case of an adult patient who reinserted the slipped PD catheter himself leading to an "unseen before" complication.
