BackgroundEncapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS) is a rare complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD) that is associated with significant morbidity and mortality in adults. There are scarce data for children. We performed a 10-year survey to determine the prevalence, risk factors and outcome for EPS in children.MethodsChronic PD patients in 14 dialysis units participating in the European Paediatric Dialysis Working Group between January 2001 and December 2010 were included in this study.ResultsTwenty-two cases of EPS were reported (prevalence 1.5%; 8.7 per 1000 patient-years on PD). Median PD vintage was 5.9 (1.6-10.2) in EPS and 1.7 (0.7-7.7) years in the remainder of the PD population (P < 0.0001). EPS patients had a significantly higher peritonitis rate than non-EPS patients (P = 0.2). EPS was diagnosed while the child was on PD in 17 (77%), after conversion to haemodialysis (HD) in 3 and after transplantation in 2. Fifteen of 17 (88%) developed ultrafiltration (UF) failure. The median interval between UF failure and presentation with bowel obstruction was 2.8 (0.02-5.8) months. Twenty (91%) had clinical and radiological signs of bowel obstruction. Enterolysis was performed in 14 and 19 received immunosuppression or tamoxifen. Nine required parenteral nutrition. At final follow-up 4.8 (1.3-8.7) years after EPS diagnosis, 3 patients died, 11 had a functioning transplant and 8 were on HD.ConclusionsThe prevalence of EPS in European children on PD is comparable with that of adult PD patients, but mortality from paediatric EPS is significantly lower. A high index of suspicion is required for the diagnosis of EPS in children with longer dialysis duration, a high peritonitis rate and UF failure. |
