Abstract

Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis is a reliable and practical method of treatment for chronic renal failure. However, it may occasionally be complicated by abdominal and inguinal hernias. Radionuclide peritoneal scanning may detect their presence even before they become clinically evident. The following case shows the unique contribution of peritoneal scintigraphy in establishing the diagnosis of a subclinical inguinal hernia in a patient on CAPD, thus leading to its effective management.
