Peritoneal sclerosis involves a spectrum of peritoneal membrane changes, from mild effects in chronic peritoneal dialysis to rare, life-threatening thickening. This review covers its frequency, causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention, including Italian registry data.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Pathology
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Peritoneal sclerosis presents a wide range of peritoneal alterations.
  • Manifestations vary from low clinical impact in chronic peritoneal dialysis to rare, life-threatening peritoneal membrane thickening.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To comprehensively review peritoneal sclerosis.
  • To cover its frequency, pathology, etiopathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnostic criteria, therapy, and prevention.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on peritoneal sclerosis.
  • Analysis of preliminary data from the Italian Registry of Peritoneal Sclerosis.

Main Results:

  • Peritoneal sclerosis encompasses diverse peritoneal changes.
