Risk Factors for Urinary Tract Infection After Renal Transplantation and its Impact on Graft Function in Children and Young Adults

Abstract

In this study there was no correlation between a history of urinary tract infection (either before or after transplant) and decreased graft function. History of pre-transplant urinary tract infection was suggestive of urinary tract infection after transplant. Patients with urological causes of renal failure may be at increased risk for post-transplant urinary tract infection.
