Role of Endoscopic Findings and Biopsies in Renal Transplant Recipients With Gastrointestinal Complications: A Tertiary Care Experience.

Cytomegalovirus colitis was the most common infection in the lower gastrointestinal tract, whereas giardiasis was the most common in the duodenum. PMID: 29534657 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
