Gastrointestinal symptoms in HIV-positive kidney transplant candidates and recipients from an HIV-positive donor

Abstract Gastrointestinal symptoms (GIS) are common in kidney transplant candidates and recipients and may be worsened by HIV. Objective: To determine the frequency and severity of GIS in HIV-positive kidney transplant recipients from HIV-positive donors, and those waiting to receive one. A GIS rati...
