À fallopian tube strangulating a #PD #catheter ? Yes, it can happen 👀 When #peritonealdialysis catheter dysfonction occurs, we usually think of constipation, migration, fibrin or omental wrap. In women, pelvis anatomy matters !! DOI: doi.org/10.1016/j.ki... #peritonealdialysis #catheter

Thank you for your post. Yes indeed, it’s impressive : all our new elderly patients are now on this DIDo CAPD regimen : 3 bags/day leaving whole day free of manipulations and a short 2-3 hrs glucose dwell in laye afternoon. In older patients, water and sodium removal is the key point !
