Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a safe, efficient and cost-effective method for renal replacement therapy. It can be used correction of uremia, volume overload, metabolic disorders etc in Acute kidney injury. Use PD AKI has become increasingly safe with advent softer Tenckhoff catheters. We report case performing CFPD using hemodialysis catheter.
