Abstract:
The definition of peritoneal sclerosis encompasses a vast range of peritoneal alterations induced by peritoneal dialysis. The morphology, clinical correlations and pathophysiology of, and experimental animal models for, this condition show such striking differences from case to case as to suggest the existence of two nosological entities: simple sclerosis and sclerosing peritonitis.
