Fibrin-Induced Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition of Peritoneal Mesothelial Cells as a Mechanism of Peritoneal Fibrosis: Effects of Pentoxifylline

Excessive fibrin deposition in the peritoneum is thought to be involved in the development of encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS), an important cause of morbidity and mortality in peritoneal dialysis patients. We investigated fibrin-induced epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of peritone...
