Abstrakt: Graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) remains a potentially fatal complication following intestinal transplant (ITx). Over the past decade, advances in the understanding of the pathophysiology of this complex immunological phenomenon have led to the reassessment of the host systemic immune response and have created a gateway for novel preventive and therapeutic strategies. Although sufficient evidence dictates the use of corticosteroids as a first-line option, the treatment for refractory disease remains contentious and lacks a standardized therapeutic approach. Timely diagnosis remains crucial, and the advent of chimerism detection and immunological biomarkers have transformed the identification, prognostication, and potential for survival after GvHD in ITx. The objectives of the following review aim to discuss the clinical and diagnostic features, pathophysiology, advances in immune biomarkers, as well as therapeutic opportunities in the prevention and treatment of GvHD in ITx.
