Abstract:
Development of peritoneal dialysis treatment in the world as well as in Poland followed by prolongation of patients' survival calls for imaging of peritoneal cavity in the course of non-complicated programme as well as complicated CAPD programme. Retrospective analysis was performed of the clinical utility of peritoneal scintigraphy applied in our centre since 1982. According to the aim of the study 125 scans of the peritoneal cavity performed in 67 patients treated by CAPD/APD method in the years 1982-2002 were subjected to analysis. Among the detected pathologies adhesions (69% scans) and dialysate extraperitoneal leakages (17% scans) predominated. Special attention was paid to the character of the intraperitoneal adhesions which, if multilocular, were the reason of dropping-out from the peritoneal dialysis programme.

Radionuclide Testing
Radionuclide testing is a sophisticated medical technique for assessing gastrointestinal motility. It focuses on gastric emptying and colonic transit time. Radioactive markers track the movement of food through the digestive system, providing insights into gastrointestinal disorders.
