Dialyzed patients have a number of risk factors for cařdiovascular diseases encountered in these patients more frequently and with a more adverse course than in the general population. Dissection of the aorta is one of the possible complications and may be manifested by atypical abdominal psin. Usually at first other more common causes of psin are considered (biliary colic, acute pancreatitis, gastric ulcer and myocardial infarction). To assess the diagnosis of dissection of the aorta and its extent CT, magnetic resonance, transcesophageal echo and possibly aortography are necessary.
