EnglishEncapsulating peritoneal sclerosis is a serious complication of peritoneal dialysis and can occur even after transplant. The gut is partially or totally enveloped by a thick fibrous membrane that leads to the formation of multiple sections containing intestinal loops contracted and reduced in volume. Exacerbation after renal transplantation is a very rare but sometimes dramatic condition. We report a patient who developed intestinal obstruction due to encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis 1 year after a deceased-donor kidney transplant. Treatment included laparotomy, small-bowel lengthening by release of adhesions, and high doses of corticosteroids. The patient received immunosuppressive therapy with a combination of low-dose cyclosporine, everolimus, and prednisone, unchanged except for a temporary steroid increase in the postoperative period. We report success with this combined surgical plus medical therapy, with no recurrence after 81 months of follow-up.

| Abstract: | Encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis is a serious complication of peritoneal dialysis and can occur even after transplant. The gut is partially or totally enveloped by a thick fibrous membrane that leads to the formation of multiple sections containing intestinal loops contracted and reduced in volume. Exacerbation after renal transplantation is a very rare but sometimes dramatic condition. We report a patient who developed intestinal obstruction due to encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis 1 year after a deceased-donor kidney transplant. Treatment included laparotomy, small-bowel lengthening by release of adhesions, and high doses of corticosteroids. The patient received immunosuppressive therapy with a combination of low-dose cyclosporine, everolimus, and prednisone, unchanged except for a temporary steroid increase in the postoperative period. We report success with this combined surgical plus medical therapy, with no recurrence after 81 months of follow-up. |
