Peritonitis
in peritoneal dialysis: CT findings and role. Postcontrast images confirmed loculated peritoneal fluid (*) in upper abdomen, mild uniform enhancing serosal thickening (arrows), and oedematous superficial planes along flanks (+).

Peritonitis
in peritoneal dialysis: CT findings and role. Compared to Fig.1a-b, current upright (c,d) and supine (e) radiographs showed appearance of air-fluid levels (thin arrows) in distended transverse colon (+) and centralised small bowel loops (*). Air in the rectum.

Peritonitis
in peritoneal dialysis: CT findings and role. Unenhanced images showed oedematous superficial soft tissues (+) along flanks; atrophied kidneys (arrowheads); loculated perihepatic peritoneal fluid (*) with mild serosal thickening (arrow); bowel air-fluid levels (thin arrow).

Peritonitis
in peritoneal dialysis: CT findings and role. In the pelvis, only minimal peritoneal fluid (*) was present, with mild uniform non-calcified serosal thickening (arrows). Note normally positioned catheter tip (thick arrow).

in peritoneal dialysis: CT findings and role. Pelvic images confirmed mild uniform enhancing serosal thickening (arrows), oedematous superficial planes along flanks (+), several bowel air-fluid levels (thin arrows). Note normal entry site of dialysis catheter (thick arrow).

A peritoneal dialysis catheter is a flexible tube designed for peritoneal dialysis, the most well-known and widely-used being the Tenckhoff catheter.
History
In 1968 an American nephrologist Henry A Tenckhoff (d.2017) introduced his eponymous peritoneal indwelling catheter . The major improvements made by Dr Tenckhoff over the Palmer-Quinton catheter, the main one in use at the time, was:
- using the recently discovered inert and flexible Silastic as the catheter material
- the addition of Dacron cuffs near the ends to improve skin anchorage and decrease secondary infection rates
- developing and patenting an insertion trocar
