   Introduction
 
Acquired cystic kidney disease (ACKD) can be developed during chronic renal insufficiency. The probability of developing cystic diseases rises with the increase of time in dialysis [1]. Men and African-American population are more likely to develop ACKD. Also, kidney volumes are bigger and cyst size increases faster in this population [1,2]. Typical complications of ACKD are intra- and pericystic bleeding as well as rupture with retroperitoneal haemorrhage. Patients with ACKD also present a higher risk of malignant transformation. Haemoperitoneum is an unusual complication in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD), most cases being attributed to mechanical, gynaecological or intraperitoneal . . .
