Nephrology Unit, Hospital Juan Canalejo, A Coruña, Spain.

We report on a case of chylous ascites associated with acute pancreatitis secondary to gallbladder stone disease, in a patient undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. The initial clinical presentation was one of bacterial peritonitis, with later appearance of chylous peritoneal drainage. Diagnosis was suggested by abdominal computed tomography and confirmed by surgical exploration. We discuss the main diagnostic keys of peritoneal dialysis-associated pancreatitis and the possible etiologic role of this entity in chylous ascites of these patients.

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.

D010195 Pancreatitis INFLAMMATION of the PANCREAS. Pancreatitis is classified as acute unless there are computed tomographic or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatographic findings of CHRONIC PANCREATITIS (International Symposium on Acute Pancreatitis, Atlanta, 1992). The two most common forms of acute pancreatitis are ALCOHOLIC PANCREATITIS and gallstone pancreatitis.
