[Bilateral hydrothorax in a 13-year old girl treated with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis renal replacement therapy].

Bilateral hydrothorax is a very rare complication of ambulatory peritoneal dialysis in children. We present a case of a 13-year-old girl who developed bilateral acute hydrothorax during after seven months of CCPD. Peritoneal dialysis was temporarily discontinued and the child was transferred to haemodialysis. Six weeks later the patient was successfully resumed CCPD.
