title: [An abnormal colour of a haemodialysis filter].
abstract: In a 76-year-old man, the filter of the dialyser turned yellow instead of pink after haemodialysis. He had no complaints, but physical examination revealed mild jaundice and his serum bilirubin was elevated. A CT scan of the abdomen showed a pancreatic neoplasm. Discoloration of a filter of the dialyser might thus be a first sign of painless icterus.
