A method for estimating a risk for a subject suffering from encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis is provided, including measuring an expression level of at least one microRNA from a sample of the subject, and the microRNA is selected from miR-17, miR-100, miR-155, miR-202, miR-422a, and miR-483; comparing the expression level of the microRNA in the sample to that of a same miRNA of a control, when the expression level of miRNA in the sample is lower than that of the control, the subject is estimated having the risk of encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis. A kit for estimating a risk for a subject suffering from encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis is also provided, including at least one agent for identifying the at least one microRNA as above mentioned from the sample of the subject.
