Abstract
Since 1977, continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) has been proposed as an effective maintenance therapy for patients with end-stage renal disease. Despite encouraging results [1], recurrent peritonitis represents a major cause of treatment failure [2] and a limitation to the expansion of the technique [1]. Among severe abdominal complications observed in patients on CAPD [3, 4], sclerosing peritonitis (SP) is a major problem. This report deals with 12 patients observed over a 5-year period and concentrates on the analysis of the risk factors involved in the genesis of this syndrome which have emerged from the literature and our own personal data.
