Pleuroperitoneal leakage is rare but can be a life-threatening mechanic complication of peritoneal dialysis. Some techniques have been used to diagnose this entity. Radionuclide imaging can be used as a reliable technique in order to show the pleuroperitoneal passage and can be used to show the recovery. Herein we present the first case report in the literature about a patient with pleuroperitoneal shunt that was demonstrated scintigraphically during the leakage and after the resolution.en10.5262/tndt.2016.32info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessChronic Kidney DiseasePeritoneal DialysisPleuroperitoneal LeakageScintigraphyHydrothorax Complicating PeritonealScintigraphy as a Reliable Technique for Diagnosis and Follow-Up of Pleuroperitoneal Leakage in Peritoneal Dialysis PatientsArticle25139141N/AWOS:0004173593000322-s2.0-84963613115N/A
