Background

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is associated with development impaired allograft function. Our objective was assessing to UTI risk factors and its impact in the allograft function.

Methods

Retrospective Cohort from March-2014 to March-2019 included 1341 patients with kidney transplantation. All patients with development at least one UTI event during first year after transplantation were registered. Prophylaxis with TMP-SMX (160/800mg) was used for 3-6 months and the main immunosuppression scheme was based on TAC/MMF/PDN.

Results

The accumulated incidence of UTI was 41% and ESBL-producing Escherichia Coli was the most frequent agent causing. In a Logistic Regression analysis; risks factors were Anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) (RR 1.5; 1.18-1.91; p=0.001), surgical complications (RR 2.4; 1.7-3.4; p=0.001), duration of bladder catheterization (RR 1.43; 1.09-1.9; p= 0.021), transplant number (RR 1.8; 1.09-3.0; p=0.001).

Conclusion

Despite the high incidence of UTI, there was no impact on graft function at 12 months post transplantation. Use of ATG and prolonged bladder catheterization are some of the risk factors.
