Nephrogenic ascites is a controversial and very rare entity; it was described for the first time in 1970.It is often described as an antites of ascites in patients undergoing renal transplant therapy with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). This condition is thought to be multifactorial in origin resulting from including amalgamation of malnutrition, inadequate dialysis and ultra-filtration with resultant uraemia and increased peritoneal membrane permeability. Prognosis is often grave particularly if timely diagnosis is not done with ensuing treatment. We are talking about the story of a 40-year-old man with no medical history who once reported to us the discomfort, nausea and vomiting that lasted for two days. He was found to have multiple ascites. A diagnostic paracentesis was performed and it was revealed that the patient had Hepatic, cardiovascular, infectious and dangerous causes of ascites were not excluded after a thorough examination. The cause of ascites was determined to be phrogenic. Patient showed excellent renal recovery and disappearance of ascites which makes this case quite unusual given the setting of absence of chronic disease of kidney as well as liver.

We investigated the pharmacokinetics of non-metabolized cefotaxime in 10 patients undergoing CAPD. The elimination half-life after IV administration of I g cefotaxime was 3.1 ± 1.3 hr, i.e. two to three times longer than in individuals with normal renal function but similar to patients with severe renal insufficiency. An average of 2.18% of the dose was recovered in the effluent. The halflife of I g cefotaxime administered in the dialysis solutions was 1.4 ± 0.8 hr. This difference between the half-lives after intraperitoneal and intravenous administration indicates a faster transport through the peritoneal membrane. Intraperitoneally administered cefotaxime -250 mg four times daily, was effective in the treatment of peritonitis in three CAPD patients. Since its introduction in 1976, CAPD has become an effective therapy for end-stage renal disease. The most serious complication is peritonitis and effective treatment is essential. Cefotaxime, a new broad-spectrurn cephalosporin, is active against most gramnegative and gram-positive organisms. It possesses no nephrotoxicity and may be useful in the treatment of peritonitis and other infections in patients on CAPD. This study was done to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of cefotaxime administered intravenously and intraperitoneally during CAPD.
