De novo Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Kidney Transplant Recipients: A Single-Center Case Series Study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Gastrointestinal complications are common after solid organ transplantation. New-onset inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) after transplantation (de novo) is a major differential diagnosis of diarrhea after liver transplantation (LT) because of its high incidence in the field. However, the incidence of IBD after kidney transplantation (KT) remains unknown.

Methods

This case series comprised six de novo IBD patients who had undergone KT at our hospital from April 1998 to December 2020. In this period, 232 KT recipients were identified. Participants were analyzed based on their colonoscopy diagnoses. Detailed clinical information regarding both KT- and IBD-related symptoms or outcomes was obtained, and we calculated the incidence of de novo IBD from the date of KT.
