Probiotics for diarrhea after kidney transplant
Part of Digestive system, Immune system & allergy, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This early-phase trial tests whether giving probiotics can help reduce diarrhea caused by the immunosuppressive medications you take after a kidney transplant. If you are having diarrhea and are at least 3 months post-transplant, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a kidney transplant (from a living or deceased donor).
- You currently have diarrhea (more than 3 loose or watery stools per day).
- You are taking medications that suppress your immune system (like tacrolimus, cyclosporine, mycophenolate, or prednisone).
- You are not already taking probiotics.
- You do not have a known infection causing the diarrhea, and you have not been diagnosed with cancer.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

This trial tests whether taking a probiotic supplement helps people recovering from a kidney transplant. If you are between 18 and 75 years old and had a smooth recovery in the first month after surgery, you may be able to join.
This trial tests whether a special probiotic made from the patient's own gut bacteria and their donor's can help fix gut problems caused by a complication called graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) after a stem cell transplant. It might help patients who are over 50 and scheduled for a specific type of transplant.
This early-phase study tests a prebiotic (galacto-oligosaccharide) to see if it can lower or prevent gut inflammation caused by acute graft-versus-host disease (acute GVHD) after a stem cell transplant. If you’re scheduled for an allogeneic transplant, participating may help researchers find safer ways to protect your gut.
This study tests whether taking a short-chain fatty acid (a type of fiber-like substance) supplement can improve gut health in people who have had a kidney transplant. It may help keep the transplant working well.
This trial tests whether a treatment called fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) — transferring healthy gut bacteria — can help relieve diarrhea and colitis caused by immunotherapy drugs. If you have melanoma or kidney cancer and are experiencing diarrhea after immunotherapy, this study may offer a new option.
This study looks at whether the germs in your gut (microbiome) and certain chemicals in your blood affect pain after a kidney transplant. By joining, you may help doctors better understand and manage pain for future kidney transplant patients.
