Hi.
It will help if you could see an abdominal surgeon. But your Neurosurgeon's involvement is important.

I appreciate your response. I am 6'4" around 235 lbs...could stand to lose 5 or 10 lbs but definitely not obese. What type of doctor or surgeon should I see regarding my peritoneal cavity pressure? An abdominal or general surgeon? I need to figure this out and my neurosurgeon is not helping. He is real good at replacing my shunts but not good at following through.
Hello.
You need to figure out why your peritoneal cavity pressure is 170. For this, you may have to seek professional help. If you are obese, please see any obesity specialist.
And check the shunt valve.
All the best.
