    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Uremic patients exhibit compromised immune function and intestinal motility, increasing susceptibility to infections.
    • Antibiotic therapy, particularly broad-spectrum agents, is a known risk factor for Clostridium difficile infection.
    • Clostridium difficile-associated colitis presents a significant clinical challenge in patients with renal failure.
