  • Title: Peritoneal calcification in a peritoneal dialysis patient: a case report.
    Author: Francis DM, Busmanis I, Becker G.
    Journal: Perit Dial Int; 1990; 10(3):237-40. PubMed ID: 2094464.
    Abstract:
    A case of peritoneal calcification in a 44-year-old female treated with peritoneal dialysis for 13 years is reported. The patient, who had secondary hyperparathyroidism and had suffered repeated episodes of catheter-related peritonitis, presented with intraperitoneal bleeding and underwent laparotomy and excision of some of the calcified peritoneal plaques. She remains well on peritoneal dialysis 1 year later with occasional mild intraperitoneal bleeding and reduced peritoneal filtration.
