Kidney transplantation in patients with polycystic kidney disease: increased risk of infection does not compromise graft and patient survival
ADPKD patients are at increased risk of UTI and liver cyst infection after transplantation. Steroid medication and recipient age seem to increase the risk of UTI/urosepsis, while nephrectomy seems to reduce it. Nevertheless, patient survival was similar compared to non-ADPKD patients and death-censored graft survival even better.
