Encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis is a rare and life-threatening complication of long-term peritoneal dialysis and until now there is no established medical treatment. Many factors have been incriminated in its pathogenesis but they do not explain all risk conditions. We report our experience and we investigate the predisposing factors. Probably unidentified factors make some patients more susceptible to developing encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis.
