ABSTRACT
Tuberculosis is an opportunistic infection that causes significant morbidity and mortality in recipients of renal transplants. Although tuberculous peritonitis is easily diagnosed by paracentesis, it is difficult to diagnosis in the absence of ascites. Laparotomy and laparoscopic biopsies are needed for the diagnosis of tuberculous peritonitis. According to recent reports, the latter has a better outcome because of fewer associated complications.
