What causes 肠衰竭?

Short bowel syndrome (short gut syndrome): The most common reason for intestinal transplant is short bowel syndrome. 患有这种综合症, 由于先天性(出生时)疾病，部分肠道缺失.

疾病: Intestinal problems sometimes appear shortly after birth. 这些问题包括肠扭转或称为坏死性小肠结肠炎的炎症. 遗传疾病和运动障碍(食物如何通过肠道的问题)会导致肠道衰竭. 胃肠道问题，如克罗恩病和乳糜泻会影响肠道吸收营养的方式.

创伤: Several injuries can damage the intestines and affect how they work. These include injuries from seatbelts, gunshot wounds or stab wounds.

Who is eligible for adult intestinal transplant?

肠衰竭患者需要全肠外营养(TPN)来获得必需的营养. TPN is liquid nutrition provided intravenously (through a vein). 在TPN上表现良好的患者不适合肠移植. 我们只在TPN风险超过移植风险时才考虑肠移植.

To become a candidate for an intestinal transplant, you must have:

肠衰竭

One or more life-threatening complications related to TPN, such as:
Central venous catheter (CVC) infections
