| Abstract: | | Introduction | Acquired cystic kidney disease (ACKD) can be developed duringchronic renal insufficiency. The probability of developing cysticdiseases rises with the increase of time in dialysis [1]. Menand African-American population are more likely to develop ACKD.Also, kidney volumes are bigger and cyst size increases fasterin this population [1,2]. Typical complications of ACKD areintra- and pericystic bleeding as well as rupture with retroperitonealhaemorrhage. Patients with ACKD also present a higher risk ofmalignant transformation. Haemoperitoneum is an unusual complicationin patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD), most casesbeing attributed to mechanical, gynaecological or intraperitoneal
