“…It refers to patients with symptoms usually including abdominal pain and bloody or cloudy, sterile effluent that was not associated with formal intestinal obstruction/ileus and had a more benign course than that of "classic" EPS. Only 15 cases have been reported in the literature [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. Several factors have been associated with this rare situation, including frequent peritonitis episodes, calcium-phosphate disturbances, extensive use of vitamin D and calcium products, and secondary hyperparathyroidism.…”

Encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS) is a rare but rather serious complication of long-term peritoneal dialysis. The etiology of EPS is multifactorial, with long-term peritoneal dialysis, multiple peritonitis episodes, and uncontrolled hyperparathyroidism considered to be major risk factors for this often life-threatening condition. We report a case of a 55-year-old female patient with Down syndrome and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on long-term peritoneal dialysis (PD) with extensive intestinal peritoneal calcifications and a rather uncomplicated long follow-up.
