Overview

Gastroenterologists improve outcomes in acute gvhd management, emphasizing microbiome approaches and personalized care.

Key Points

  • Gastroenterologists are crucial for diagnosing and managing acute graft-versus-host disease in transplant patients.
  • Ruxolitinib is the standard second-line therapy for steroid-refractory gvhd, while vedolizumab shows promise for gut health.
  • Reduced microbiome diversity correlates with increased severity and mortality in acute gvhd cases.
  • Fecal microbiota transplantation may help some patients with steroid-refractory gvhd, but evidence is currently limited.
