To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a patient who successfully underwent KT after receiving treatment for MAC peritonitis. One-year anti-mycobacterial therapy, PD catheter removal, 8-month observation after the cessation of therapy led the successful KT, although further investigation is warranted to confirm the efficacy of this approach.
