  • Title: Massive hydrothorax complicating continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.
    Author: Singh S, Vaidya P, Dale A, Morgan B.
    Journal: Nephron; 1983; 34(3):168-72. PubMed ID: 6877448.
    Abstract:
    2 patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) developed massive hydrothorax. Further studies revealed preferential transfer of fluid from peritoneal cavity to pleural space in absence of a direct pleuroperitoneal communication. Hydrothorax resolved in both following a brief interruption in CAPD but recurred in one upon restitution of CAPD. In case of recurrent hydrothorax, pleurodesis or alternate dialytic therapy should be considered.
