Study summary

This project focuses on the evaluation of the impact of the rapid mutltiplex test on changes in anti-infectious treatments in kidney transplant patients with diarrhea. A higher number of infectious agents detected on the same day of sampling could improve the etiological diagnosis of diarrhea in kidney transplant patients and optimize therapeutic management.

A prospective study will be conducted to evaluate the impact of a rapid multiplex test with a wide panel of bacteria, viruses and parasites on the clinical management of kidney transplant patients with acute diarrhea. This impact will be evaluated using a control group of kidney transplant patients with acute diarrhea whose infectious diagnosis will be performed by standard methods. The main objective is to determine the impact of the rapid multiplex test on changes in anti-infectious treatments (initiation, change of molecule, total duration of treatment).

Inclusion criteria

  • Age ≥ 18 years
  • Patient who received a kidney transplant at least 3 months ago
  • Acute diarrhea (at least 3 unformed or liquid stools per day for at least 3 consecutive days or 3 per day and / or weight loss ≥2 kg and / or mucoid and / or bloody stool) or absence of diarrhea for at least a month (asymptomatic non randomized control group)
  • Affiliation to social security in accordance with the recommendations of the French law

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients who received an identical HLA transplant from a related donor
  • Patients without health insurance
  • Patients under guardianship or curatorship
  • Pregnant (or breastfeeding) patient
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
