Abstract
- Encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS) is an uncommon and harmful complication which may cause destructive outcomes. Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) as a protease can reduce constituents of the extracellular matrix and play a crucial role in the progression of EPS. As a new biomarker, MMP-2 may improve the detection rate of EPS patients in clinical work. In this review, we summarize the recent study of MMP-2 in different etiologies and the assessment of its application value and draw attention to its future directions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
