Abstract

Objective To study the diarrhea causes and nursing care after kidney transplantation from donation after cardiac death(DCD).Methods The clinical data of 91 patients undergoing kidney transplantations from DCD were retrospectively analyzed from November 2011 to May 2013 in our department,to investigate the incidence of diarrhea and the causes.Results Eighty three cases contracted diarrhea in 91 recipients,with the incidence of diarrhea 91.2%.The use of immunosuppressive agents,intestinal flora,infection and bowel movement dysfunction were all related to the diarrhea.Conclusions The incidence of diarrhea is high and the causes are complex after kidney transplantation from DCD.So nurses should take the appropriate care measures to improve the quality of nursing,avoiding complications and ensuring transplant results based on a different cause of diarrhea.
