Conclusions: First, bowel obstruction symptoms in long-term PD patients undergoing KT may suggest EPS. Second, long-term PD patients showing features of technique failure are at high risk of EPS after KT. Third, adhesiolysis, PN and tamoxifen are the available treatment options in EPS patients post KT. And finally, referral of eligible patients to a transplant waiting list early after starting PD may contribute significantly to EPS prevention in clinical practice.
