  • Title: [Diverticulosis as a background of "abdominal catastrophe" in the course of peritoneal dialysis. Care Report].
    Author: Pietrzak B, Olszowska A, Prokopiuk M, Zelichowski G.
    Journal: Pol Merkur Lekarski; 2002 Nov; 13(77):408-9. PubMed ID: 12621761.
    Abstract:
    Peritonitis complicating peritoneal dialysis (PD) may represent a difficult diagnostic and therapeutic problem if it coexists with surgical pathology of intra-abdominal organs defined as "abdominal catastrophe". The illustration of this problem is the case of 70-year-old patient treated with automated PD, in whom recurrent episodes of peritonitis (Escherichia coli) were typical of "abdominal catastrophe" and were probably caused by microperforations of the colon in the course of diverticulosis.
