Peritoneal dialysis and cardiovascular disease.

Minerva urologica e nefrologica = The Italian journal of urology and nephrology, 2012
Cardiovascular (CV) death is the most frequent cause of dying in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Risk factors include not only those that can be present in the general population, but also those related to the presence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and factors that are specific for PD modality.

Peritoneal Mesothelioma: Disease Biology and Patterns of Peritoneal Dissemination

2020
Mesothelioma is a rare neoplasm arising from the mesothelial cells lining the pleura, peritoneum, pericardium, and tunica vaginalis layer of testis [1]. Diffuse malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (DMPM) represents about one-fifth to one-third of all forms of mesothelioma.

Diverticular Disease of the Colon: A Risk Factor for Peritonitis in Continuous Peritoneal Dialysis

Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation, 1990
To study the possible influence of colonic diverticula on the risk of peritonitis of enteral (intestinal) origin in patients undergoing continuous peritoneal dialysis, a barium enema was carried out as a pretreatment investigation in 129 consecutive patients starting CAPD over a 9-year period. In this prospective study comprising 3103 patient months, a

Peritoneal Washings Are Not Predictive of Occult Peritoneal Disease in Patients with Hilar Cholangiocarcinoma

Journal of the American College of Surgeons, 2001
Evaluation of peritoneal cytology provides valuable staging information in patients with gastric and pancreatic adenocarcinoma, but its usefulness in patients with extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the predictive value of peritoneal cytology in patients with potentially resectable hilar cholangiocarcinoma.

Fetal Meconium Peritonitis and Maternal Liver Disease

Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2016
There are five reported cases of fetal meconium peritonitis developing after episodes of maternal hepatitis. These cases demonstrate a potential association between severe maternal liver injury and subsequent fetal meconium peritonitis.A 26-year-old primigravid woman developed acute liver failure 4 days after unilateral oophorectomy for ovarian torsion

[Gelatinous peritoneal disease].

Revue francaise de gynecologie et d'obstetrique, 1995
Gelatinous degeneration of the peritoin is an unusual disorder which inevitably takes the surgeon by surprise during laparotomy. Three cases are reported. The diagnosis, pathogenesis, prognosis and possible therapies are discussed. The tumoral pathogenesis usually appears to be non-malignant and to originate in the ovaries or appendix.

Imaging benign peritoneal disease

Imaging, 2000
•. Benign diseases of the peritoneum and its reflections may be either diffuse processes or more discrete lesions; the latter may be solid or cystic.•. Diffuse processes, such as infection or inflammation, produce ascites and mesenteric oedema. The clinical presentation and the site of origin of the abnormality may aid diagnosis.•.
