Experience reveals optimal management strategies for hydrothorax in peritoneal dialysis patients, indicating effective approaches.
Hydrothorax is a recognized complication in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients, with an incidence ranging from 1.6% to 10%. Management strategies include conservative treatment, chemical pleurodesis, and surgical diaphragmatic repair. However, the optimal resting interval after diaphragmatic repair before resuming PD remains unclear. This study aimed to share our institutional experience in managing PD-related hydrothorax at Taipei Veterans General Hospital.
