[|Human|] Hi. I am on peritoneal dialysis. I have been foe the past 3 years. My symptoms are uncomfortable stomach bloat that I have had for a few days. Abdominal pains that come and go and are on the right side. My catheter is on the left and does not hurt or appear to be infected. I also have had diarrhea almost very day for the past week. I am not experiencing nausea. I normally weigh about 100 pounds, I now weigh 115. Can you help?
[|AI|]  Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. Hi Peritoneal dialysis is being done for such a long time, there is a possibility of peritonitis. As per your history the other causes can be :Intestinal infection as you are more prone to. Increased urea and creatinine also can cause changes in the intestinal movements, predispose to infection. I would suggest you the following:First get the stool tested for routine, microscopy and culture and sensitivity. Secondly get started on appropriate antibiotics as per your kidney function reports under the guidance of a Nephrologist. Get other blood tests to see for CBC, Kidney, liver function test. X-ray of the abdomen in standing position. The proper diagnosis can lead to a proper treatment, and you will be fine.
