ABSTRACT
Acute pancreatitis is an uncommon complication of CAPD. The clinical diagnosis of acute pancreatitis is difficult, since the presenting features are similar to those of dialysis associated peritonitis, and a high index of suspicion is necessary. Serum amylase values three times greater than the upper limit of normal and effluent amylase greater than 100U/L are helpful in diagnosing acute pancreatitis in CAPD patients. We report a case of pancreatitis in a patient on CAPD in whom diagnosis was made by serum amylase, effluent amylase, abdominal sonogram.
