Background and objectives: The study aim was to establish the incidence and characterize all encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS) cases in patients treated by peritoneal dialysis (PD).Design, setting, participants, & measurements: The patient cohort, which started PD from January 1, 2000, to December 31, 2007, was identified from the Scottish Renal Registry (n = 1238). Possible EPS cases were identified by the ten adult Scottish renal units. Patient records were examined to ensure cases met diagnostic criteria.Results: Forty-six cases were identified; 19 had their first PD exposure after January 1, 2000. The rate was 1.5%, an incidence of 4.9 per 1000 person-years. The incidence increased with PD duration, with rates of 0, 0.6, 2.0, 3.5, 8.1, 8.8 and 5% at 2 to 3, >3 to 4, >4 to 5, >5 to 6 and >6 yr PD exposure, respectively. The median PD duration of EPS cases was 5.1 yr (interquartile range [IQR] 3.4 to 6.1 yr). At diagnosis, 12 (26%) were on PD and 33 (72%) were diagnosed
