Exploration of Fecal Microbiota Transplantation in the Treatment of Refractory Diarrhea After Renal Transplantation
1Department of Transplantation, Xiangya School of Medicine, Changsha, Hunan, China.
Objective:
Exploration of fecal microbiota transplantation in the treatment of refractory diarrhea after renal transplantation.
Methods:
Summarize the etiology of 120 cases with diarrhea after renal transplantation from 2014 to 2017 in our hospital. There were 4 recipients of refractory diarrhea who accepted fecal microbiota transplantation with informed consent, and we collected clinical data of stool and bacterial culture, gut microbiota analysis, graft function, electrolytes, immunosuppressant concentrations of prognostic evaluation of patients with fecal transplantation.
Results:
The absorption of electrolyte is slightly higher and concentration of tacrolimus and creatinine were not significantly changed compared with before.
Conclusion:
Fecal microbiota transplantation provides a new choice to refractory diarrhea after renal transplantation as an innovative treatment, but the effectiveness of fecal microbiota transplantation needs long-term observation and further evaluation through large sample data.
