The article presents a case of a 13-month-old boy who has a congenital nephritic syndrome of the Finnish type due to failed peritoneal dialysis. It provides analysis on clinical images resulted from ultasonography and peritoneal scintigraphy of the patient including the early static planar image. Furthermore, it notes the value of single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT/CT) peritoneal scintigraphy in evaluating and locating peritoneal dialysis failure.
