Chronic diarrhea is prevalent in renal transplant patients irrespective of age, sex, and duration since transplant. Giardiasis and Cryptosporidium species infections are important causes of chronic diarrhea, but other causative factors need to be further studied, including comorbid conditions and immunosuppressive agents.
