OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the CT findings and prevalence of hepatic subcapsular steatosis in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis with intraperitoneal insulin delivery. CONCLUSION: Hepatic subcapsular steatosis appeared as subcapsular nodules and often rindlike areas of low attenuation in seven (18%) of 39 patients who received intraperitoneal insulin with their peritoneal dialysate. Cessation of intraperitoneal insulin therapy led to reversal of the steatosis in three patients.
