Cardiovascular morbidity and mortality remain high in ESRD patients. Lipid abnormalities in CAPD may be more important than in hemodialysis. Vessel calcification may have a role in atherosclerotic heart disease, but this is only an inference from several clinical observations, and it remains to be defined more clearly as a risk factor. Left ventricular

Computed tomography manifestations of peritoneal diseases

Australasian Radiology, 2005
SummaryThe peritoneal cavity is a potential space that is divided by the peritoneal reflections into various complex subspaces. It can be involved in many disease processes including developmental, inflammatory, neoplastic and traumatic conditions. Computed tomography is highly sensitive and consistent in detecting peritoneal pathology.
