Mesenteric ischemia masquerading as refractory peritonitis in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patients

We report two cases of mesenteric ischemia in patients on long term peritoneal dialysis both of which were associated with poor outcomes. Both were diabetic and on peritoneal dialysis for a long time. On evaluation of refractory peritonitis we found evidence of non occlusive mesenteric ischemia.Desp...
