Abstract
Drain pain and overfill are two complications of peritoneal dialysis (PD) that get very little attention in the published literature. A “PubMed” search reveals no articles about PD with ‘drain pain’ in the title and only one addressing ‘overfill’ in the sense of an excessive intraperitoneal dialysate volume (1). Are these complications both rare? Or are they trivial curiosities not worthy of more clinical attention? This commentary will argue that one of the two is very common, that both need to be understood better, and that they have recently become related in an unforeseen way.
