[Encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis].
The incidence of encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis in patients on peritoneal dialysis seems to be increasing worldwide. In Iceland, two cases of encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis have recently been diagnosed (cumulative incidence 1.6%). The patients followed a similar course; the disease was diagnosed in the wake of a bacterial peritonitis, steroid treatment was effective during the acute phase but eventually surgical treatment was needed and a successful enterolysis performed.
