“…Infection with Helicobacter pylori is relatively common both in patients on dialysis and in those who have undergone kidney transplantation [30], but gastritis is highlighted only in some of those patients on dialysis and more frequently in patients undergoing kidney transplantation, suggesting that for these patients, there are additional factors that favor the occurrence of gastritis such as steroids and immunosuppressive drugs administration. The rate of digestive tract involvement is much higher if we consider, in addition to gastric lesions, also duodenal lesions, particularly gastritis or duodenitis [32]. Therefore, testing the presence of Helicobacter pylori infection is indicated whenever kidney transplanted patients have these specific symptoms.…”

Modern immunosuppressive therapy has produced a real revolution in renal and organ transplantation but it comes with the price of multiple side effects. There are many gastrointestinal (GI) complications that are the consequence of transplant immunosuppressant medication. In fact, for any immunosuppressant therapy, certain standardized precepts and attitudes that aim to reduce the incidence and the impact of the medication side effects must be applied. Many patients undergo renal transplantation and the physicians have to be aware of the advantages and the risks associated. This article reviews the main GI complications that may arise as a consequence of immunosuppressive therapy after solid organ transplantation, focusing on renal and renal/pancreas transplantation, as well as the ways in which the incidence of these complications can be reduced. Management of the post-transplant therapy is mandatory in order to increase not only the grafts’ and the patients’ survival, but also their quality of life by the occurrence of fewer complications.

“…Endoscopically, the lesions may appear as superficial erosions to ulcers with white plaques and nodules. The identification of the type of infection is very important because its progression can lead to the necrosis of the ulcerated lesions with tracheal and esophageal fistulas having a dramatic evolution [32].…”

The best management for H. pylori infection in solid-organ transplant recipients has not been established. The association with peptic ulcer disease and MALT lymphoma indicates that H. pylori-positive recipients should be treated for the eradication of H. pylori to avoid upper gastrointestinal diseases after transplantation. However, the efficacy and efficiency of H. pylori eradication therapy before transplantation should be evaluated in future studies.
