Would you recommend temporary transition to hemodialysis in a peritoneal dialysis patient who has risk factors, such as recurrent peritonitis, for the development of encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis?

In summary, yes.
However, just like anything in medicine, every patient is different, and risk factors specific to the patient have to be weighed against the benefits of continuing PD.
