Abstract
In summary, (i) poor ultrafiltration occurring shortly after peritoneal dialysis initiation should first suggest a mechanical problem rather than a membrane failure [11], (ii) the diagnosis of catheter obstruction is established by contrast opacification, (iii) catheter occlusion by a fibrin clot is best treated by urokinase infusion.
