Encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS) is a poorly understood condition in which excess fibrosis results in an encasement of the small bowel, which can clinically result in obstruction. The condition is thought to be related to the persistent expression of transforming growth factor beta on mesothelial cells causing proliferation of subserosal fibroblasts, massive production of extracellular ...

cified peritoneum. Diagnosis of EPS was made. Steroids (0.5 mg/kg/day) and Tamoxifen 20 mg twice per day were started. The patient is now on a normal diet and CRP has returned to normal. A definitive diagnosis of EPS is done at laparotomy or laparoscopy but may be strongly supported by a combination of clinical and radiologic features [1] . Computed tomography has largely been used to delineate...
متن کاملTranscriptional Patterns in Peritoneal Tissue of Encapsulating Peritoneal Sclerosis, a Complication of Chronic Peritoneal Dialysis
Encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS) is a devastating complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD), characterized by marked inflammation and severe fibrosis of the peritoneum, and associated with high morbidity and mortality. EPS can occur years after termination of PD and, in severe cases, leads to intestinal obstruction and ileus requiring surgical intervention. Despite ongoing research, the ...
