Washed Microbiota Transplantation for Malnutrition

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Malnutrition is a pathological condition in which dietary intake fails to meet the body's energetic or nutritional needs. It may be caused by macronutrient or micronutrient deficiencies, high energy expenditure, impaired nutrient absorption or assimilation. Malnutrition can affect all stages of life. In adults, malnutrition is strongly associated with poor clinical outcomes such as increased morbidity, increased mortality and prolonged hospitalization. In children, malnutrition can lead to growth retardation, cognitive impairment and immune dysfunction.

Clinical Trial Description

The gut microbiota of malnourished patients is different from that of healthy people. The diversity of the gut microbiota of patients with severe malnutrition reduced and the abundance of Proteobacteria significantly increased, as well as pathogenic genera such as Klebsiella, Escherichia coli, Shigella, and Streptococcus. This suggests that gut microbiota plays an important role in the occurrence and development of malnutrition. Dietary intervention targeting gut microbiota can quickly improve children's malnutrition, promote weight gain and increase protein levels that promote bone growth and nerve development. Exclusive enteral nutrition combined with immediate washed microbiota transplantation(WMT) can rapidly improve the nutritional status of patients with Crohn's disease compared with those with delayed WMT. Gut microbiota has been confirmed to be closely related to malnutrition. Improving the disordered gut microbiota in malnourished patients may become a potential treatment. ;
