Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) is a useful and practical modality for the treatment of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). In the properly selected patient this method is well-tolerated with minimal complications. We report a case of intermittent massive genital edema secondary to patent processus vaginalis in a patient receiving CAPD. The diagnosis of patent processus vaginalis, which was strongly suggested by the intermittent nature of the symptoms, was confirmed by computerized tomography (CT) peritoneography.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007676	Kidney Failure, Chronic	The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.
