Abstract

Encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis is a rare but highly morbid disease process in patients with end-stage kidney disease on peritoneal dialysis. Surgical management has been described in patients with encapsulation of bowel causing obstruction. Here, we describe a case of surgical management in a patient following kidney transplant with medically refractory ascites and lower extremity edema.
