Özet
İngilizce (OpenAlex)
Encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS) is an occasional and serious complication for peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients for whom no evidence-based management strategies have yet been established. Encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis could appear after kidney transplantation in patients who previously underwent long-term PD. In this report, we present our experience in four PD patients diagnosed with EPS after kidney transplantation. Adhesiolysis provided improvement in their acute clinical conditions and allograft functions, despite the long-term follow-up. Surgical intervention may be a safe modality for this specific group of patients.
