title: Inguinal herniation in two patients with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.
abstract: We report two cases of subacute inguinal swelling in uremic patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). Computed tomography, scintigraphy demonstrated a mass in the right groin. Surgical repair of an inguinal hernia resulted in complete resolution of the inguinal swelling. Both patients could restart continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis, without complication.
