Urinary Tract Infections in Kidney Transplants by marianadelatorre94 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This study evaluates the risk factors for developing symptomatic urinary tract infections (UTIs) in kidney transplant recipients with asymptomatic bacteriuria. Key findings indicate that pre-transplant diabetes, leukocyturia or hematuria, and the presence of a ureteral stent are associated with a higher risk of subsequent symptomatic UTIs. The authors suggest that future research should focus on the benefits of treating asymptomatic bacteriuria in patients exhibiting these high-risk characteristics.
