Abstract
A 25-year-old male patient underwent abdominal radiotherapy following the discovery of lymphadenopathy associated with a testicular teratoma. Prior to treatment, his peritoneal mass transfer area coefficients were within normal limits. One and 2 months after treatment, peritoneal permeability had increased to the extent that continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis was rendered impractical.
