description KEY CLINICAL MESSAGE: Pleuroperitoneal leaks are rare and normally arise as an early complication in peritoneal dialysis. This case illustrates the importance of considering pleuroperitoneal leaks as a cause for pleural effusions—even if peritoneal dialysis has been longstanding and uncomplicated. ABSTRACT: A 66‐year‐old male on peritoneal dialysis for 15 months presented with dyspnoea and low ultrafiltration volumes. Chest radiography revealed a large right‐sided pleural effusion. Pleural fluid sampling and peritoneal scintigraphy confirmed a pleuroperitoneal leak.
