Abstract
Recurrent massive hydrothorax complicating CAPD has been considered a contraindication to continuing peritoneal dialysis. In CAPD population this problem has generally required a change of dialytic modality. Intermittent peritoneal dialysis or talc poudrage has been attampted to ameliorate the problem but has met with limited success. In 1985, Benz et al reported a successful case of intra- pleural instillation of tetracycline to induce a pleural symphysis and prevent recurrence of peritoneal dialysis- related hydrothorax in a patient who refused any alter- native mode of dialysis. Thereafter there has been no report about succssessful treatment at home and abroad. We are now reporting one case of successful treat- ment with tertracycline pleurodesis of right-sided hydrothorax complicating CAPD. In this patient, Tenckhoff catherter was not removed and the patient has performed his CAPD satisfactorily in the absence of dyspnea. Chest X-ray performed on Sep 29, 1988 (7 months following procedure) reveals clear lung fields and no hydrothorax.
