Increased uptake of radio labelled white blood cells into abdomen of uremics on peritoneal dialysis. Advances in peritoneal dialysis. Conference on Peritoneal Dialysis, 1992, Volume: 8 Peritonitis and exit-site tunnel infection are frequent causes of CAPD drop out. We studied 9 patients, 8 treated by CAPD and 1 by IPD. These patients underwent sonographic and scintigraphic study of the abdomen. All scintigraphic examinations showed a visceral uptake. In two cases, sub-clinical bowel inflammation, demonstrated by scintigraphic study, preceded a gram negative peritonitis. The scintigraphic study with radiolabelled white blood cells may be useful in identifying chronic aseptic inflammations and some bowel and exit-site conditions which are possible risk factors in some cases of peritonitis.

Increased uptake of radio labelled white blood cells into abdomen of uremics on peritoneal dialysis.

Advances in peritoneal dialysis. Conference on Peritoneal Dialysis, 1992, Volume: 8

Peritonitis and exit-site tunnel infection are frequent causes of CAPD drop out. We studied 9 patients, 8 treated by CAPD and 1 by IPD. These patients underwent sonographic and scintigraphic study of the abdomen. All scintigraphic examinations showed a visceral uptake. In two cases, sub-clinical bowel inflammation, demonstrated by scintigraphic study, preceded a gram negative peritonitis. The scintigraphic study with radiolabelled white blood cells may be useful in identifying chronic aseptic inflammations and some bowel and exit-site conditions which are possible risk factors in some cases of peritonitis.
