title: Chylous ascites: an unusual complication of peritoneal dialysis. A case report and literature review.
abstract: Chylous ascites is a rare complication in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis. It may occur due to traumatic peritoneal dialysis catheter insertion or other causes. It is important to be aware of this condition as it may be confused with peritonitis, and antibiotics may be inappropriately administered. We report a case of chylous ascites occurring after catheter insertion and discuss management of this condition.
