AbstractA 45-year-old man with idiopathic aplastic anemia required renal replacement therapy (RRT) due to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). We succeeded in inserting the peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter under cover of frequent red blood cell and platelet infusions because of severe pancytopenia. During the one-year period after starting PD using an ultraviolet-ray sterilization device, he developed severe leukopenia but no PD-related peritonitis or exit site/tunnel infection until he died of pneumonia. This case suggests that PD might be a suitable choice as RRT in ESRD patients with aplastic anemia, even in those with severe pancytopenia.
