Abstract
- The most frequent cause of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) drainage failure is catheter migration. We experienced a rare case of CAPD drainage failure due to fracture of Tenckhoff catheter. A 56-year-old man presented for evaluation of CAPD drainage failure. KUB showed broken radio opaque line of the Tenckhoff catheter proximal to the internal cuff. It was thought that CAPD drainage failure was due to catheter fracture. CAPD drainage failure had been treated successfully with surgical catheter reinsertion. Our case demonstrated that catheter fracture should be considered in the differential of CAPD drainage failure.
