Extensive peritoneal calcifications are appreciated, presumably secondary to the patient's end stage renal failure and peritoneal dialysis. Other findings include a loculated fluid collection in the left flank and stable cystic structure in the right adnexa, likely chronic fluid collections from previous peritoneal dialysis. Both kidneys appear atrophic. Moderate fecal loading of the large bowel.
Case Discussion
Peritoneal calcification is a recognized potential consequence of long term peritoneal dialysis. See the article on peritoneal calcification for further differentials.
