AbstractNephrogenic ascites is a complex problem with a poorly understood pathophysiology. We report the case of a patient with nephrogenic ascites and concomitant secondary hyperparathyroidism who was resistant to the usual treatment but had a complete resolution after subtotal parathyroidectomy. We believe that secondary hyperparathyroidism might be implicated in the pathogenesis of nephrogenic ascites.
