Abstract EN
Encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS) is a rare but potentially lethal complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD).
Peritoneal tuberculosis is considered an etiologic factor.
We report a case of EPS in a 40-year-old man who was switched to hemodialysis because of peritoneal tuberculosis after 2 years of PD.
Because of the persistence of gastrointestinal symptoms and cachexia, laparoscopic exploration was performed, which revealed an important thickening of the peritoneal membrane sheathing the intestinal loops.
Accordingly, a diagnosis of EPS was made.
Anti-tuberculosis treatment associated with a low dose of corticosteroids stabilized the disease.
