This is apparent from a significant prolonged-phrase review by UMCG scientists The intestinal flora (also named the microbiome) of individuals who have undergone a kidney or liver transplant is less various after transplant than the normal population. This change in the intestine microbiota is associated with poorer wellness and a better threat of demise for … Read more
