Abstract
Abdominal wall hernia is a frequent complication in peritoneal dialysis. Their prevalence varies between 7% and 27.5%. Established risk factors are male sex, an older age, multiparity and obesity. Polycystic kidney disease is controversial risk factors. The diagnosis is mainly clinical, though peritoneography imaging can be useful in difficult cases. Complications of abdominal wall hernia are a strangulation, incarceration, bowel occlusion and peritonitis; may result in death. A surgical repair is recommended. We report a case of strangulated umbilical hernia on peritoneal dialysis and also presenting the epidemiological, clinical and therapeutic features of this pathological association.
