Post-renal transplant diarrhea is a common clinical presentation. An extensive list of potential etiology adds to the diagnostic dilemma. In cases of prolonged or intractable diarrhea, invasive tests are often performed. Intestinal microsporidia can be diagnosed with simple non-invasive stool polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Based on this case, we propose an easy to follow flow chart and present a literature review on post-renal transplant diarrhea. Further multicenter validation testing is required for the proposed flow chart.

Introduction: Patients receiving renal transplants have weakened immune systems and are more vulnerable to lung infections.
Objectives: To determine the diagnostic accuracy of high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) in detecting pneumocystis carinii in renal transplant patients presenting with pulmonary infection in a tertiary care transplant center, keeping bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) as the gold standard.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of Radiology, Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplant, Karachi, from February 14, 2023, to August 13, 2023.

Introduction Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is often associated with mortality and significant morbidity following renal transplantation leading to graft rejection or dysfunction. Primary CMV infection refers to the first detection of the virus in a person who has no prior evidence of CMV exposure before transplantation. CMV has a unique property called latency.

Post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) is a common complication following renal transplantation, and its incidence has been gradually increasing in recent years, posing a significant public health challenge. Managing PTDM is complex, as studies suggest that it involves changes in the microbial flora across multiple organs. Recent research highlights the critical role of gut flora metabolism in the development of diabetes among post-renal transplant patients.

Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the preferred access for hemodialysis in patients with end-stage renal disease, and arteriovenous grafts are used when AVF creation is not feasible. Post renal transplantation, hemodialysis may be needed due to delayed graft function or transplantation failure. This review aimed to summarize current evidence on the impact of maintaining versus ligating AV access on renal function and cardiovascular outcomes post transplantation.
