[Subcapsular fatty infiltration of the liver in peritoneal dialysis patients treated with intraperitoneal insulin: US and CT features (case report)].
In recent years a characteristic subcapsular and periligamentous fatty infiltration of the liver has been reported in diabetic patients on intraperitoneal insulin treatment by continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. The finding is unique to these patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis and has not been defined in diabetics using subcutaneous insulin. We present characteristic US and CT findings in two such patients with focal subcapsular fatty infiltration of the liver.
