Need for Intestinal Transplant

Various acute and chronic ailments may affect the functioning of the intestinal and may require intestinal transplants. Some of the conditions are listed below:

  • TPN related complications
  • Parenteral nutrition-induced liver disease: Liver failure is one of the worst complications induced by parenteral nutrition. It is responsible for a large number of deaths caused by the failure of the intestine.
  • Central venous catheter (CVC) related thrombosis of 2 or more central veins: If a patient loses access to one or more central veins from thrombosis (or clotted veins) secondary to a parenteral nutrition line, he/she may be at risk of not being able to access a central line for hydration and nutrition.
  • Frequent episodes of central line sepsis: This could include 2 or more episodes per year of bloodstream infection secondary to an infection of a central venous line requiring hospitalization.
  • Underlying disease/condition with an increased risk of morbidity
  • Desmoid tumors linked with familial adenomatous polyposis.
  • Congenital mucosal disorders
  • Ultra-short bowel syndrome (duodenostomy, gastrostomy, residual small bowel <10 cm in infants and <40 cm in adults).
  • Intestinal failure
  • Intestinal failure due to intolerance to parenteral nutrition.
  • Short Bowel Syndrome (SBS): SBS is a malabsorption disorder caused due to the surgical removal (resection) of large sections of the intestine.
