Overview

Case report highlights life-threatening complications in an infant with end-stage kidney disease, indicating critical need for timely intervention.

Key Points

  • Successful management of life-threatening noninfectious complications of peritoneal dialysis relies on timely detection.
  • Infantile nephronophthisis contributed to multiple complications, including abdominal compartment syndrome and hydrothorax.
  • Timely interventions such as laparoscopic revision surgery and thoracoscopic repair prevented recurrence of serious conditions.
  • Having a limited abdominal cavity does not exclude effective peritoneal dialysis in young infants with low body weight.
