Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the CT findings and prevalence of hepatic subcapsular steatosis in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis with intraperitoneal insulin delivery. Hepatic subcapsular steatosis appeared as subcapsular nodules and often rindlike areas of low attenuation in seven (18%) of 39 patients who received intraperitoneal insulin with their peritoneal dialysate. Cessation of intraperitoneal insulin therapy led to reversal of the steatosis in three patients.
