Chylous ascites during peritoneal dialysisin a toddler: a rare complication

Chylous ascites is a rare complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD) and is often mistaken for peritonitis. It usually resolves following conservative management and does not pose any risk to the dialysis procedure. We report the case of a 2-year-old boy, who developed chylous ascites at 36 hours of PD and spontaneously resolved within the next 48 hours.
