WCN25-2216 CLINICAL AND MICROBIOLOGICAL PROFILE OF URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS IN THE FIRST YEAR POST RENAL TRANSPLANT

Urological complications requiring intervention occurred in 10 patients(Urethral strictures 4, Ureteric obstruction 3, bladder retention 3).Recurrent UTIs and complicated Urinary tract infections were common in CAKUT patients 26.5% (graft survival group 15.3% vs graft loss group 66.6% ). 3 patients were on Clean-intermittent Catheterization(CIC). 2 patients had graft loss at 1 year and 52 months.Biopsyproven acute cell-mediated and antibody mediated rejections occurred in 14 patients (28.5%)Conclusions: KTRs with CAKUT had overall good 5 year death censored graft survival and 5 year Patient survival.Urological complications, Being on CIC, Recurrent and Complicated UTIs were associated with early graft loss.Transplant centers should develop multidisciplinary educational and social working groups tosupportand encourage CAKUT patients with kidney failure to seek for transplants.Importance of electronic medical records/creation of CAKUT/uniform transplant registries need to be reemphasized in developing countries I have no potential conflict of interest to disclose.I did not use generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process.
