HOYOS-PATINO, Simón; ARANGO-MARTINEZ,, Alejandro y GALEANO-MESA., Alejandra. Recurrent Ascites: Uroperitoneum as an Overlooked Etiology. Rev. colomb. Gastroenterol. [online]. 2023, vol.38, n.2, pp.211-216. Epub 08-Sep-2023. ISSN 0120-9957. https://doi.org/10.22516/25007440.931.
Ascites is a frequently encountered condition with diverse underlying causes. Among these, uroperitoneum is a rare etiology characterized by a non-specific clinical presentation, making it challenging to diagnose. A thorough approach and a high level of clinical suspicion are essential for accurate diagnosis. The measurement of creatinine levels in peritoneal fluid, serum, and the gradient between them plays a crucial role in achieving a correct diagnosis. In this case report, we present a patient with recurrent ascites and fluctuating elevation of azotemia, who was diagnosed with uroperitoneum through a meticulous diagnostic process. Following surgical intervention, the patient exhibited satisfactory clinical improvement without experiencing further recurrences.
