GALLBLADDER STONES, CHOLECYSTITIS AND CHOLECYSTECTOMY IN PATIENTS ON CONTINUOUS AMBULATORY PERITONEAL DIALYSIS

William Nelson, Ramesh Khanna, Raymond Mathews, Harry Yeung, George Wu, Stephen Vas and Dimitrios Oreopoulos

From the Division of Nephrology, Toronto Western Hospital.

This paper describes a prospective three-year study using abdominal ultrasound examination in 114 new CAPD patients. Gallbladder disease was common (22.8%) and four of 16 patients with gallstones (25%) required cholecystectomy after 1-14 (i 7.8 months) on CAPD. Two of these four had evidence of peritonitis in association with cholecystitis. Also we analyzed the clinical course of eight patients on chronic PD who underwent cholecystectomy. They had no serious morbidity, and all returned to chronic PD.

KEY WORDS: Cholecystitis; Cholecystectomy; Gall bladder stone; Peritonitis.
