Özet

OBJECTIVES: Although bowel obstruction due to encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS) is a rare complication following kidney transplantation, all our patients were previous peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence and risk factors for development of bowel obstruction due to EPS in kidney allograft recipients previously treated with PD.
