Abstract
The overall incidence of urinary tract infections (UTIs) in our renal transplant population was 30.9%, i.e. 0.15 episode per patient-year. UTIs occurred more often within the first 3 months (60%) of transplantation. Fifty per cent of UTIs were asymptomatic. Recurrences were common. Acute tubular necrosis and cellular rejections were important associations. UTIs had little effect on graft function and survival up to 3 years post-transplant.Entities:
