Comparative Risk of Acute Anemia and Urinary Tract Infection With Sulfamethoxazole-Trimethoprim Versus Dapsone After Kidney Transplant
The risk of anemia was twofold higher in KTRs who received dapsone compared with SMX-TMP but did not appear to affect the rates of erythropoiesis-stimulating agent use or blood transfusion. There was no difference in the risk of UTI. These findings may inform agent selection and monitoring of prophylaxis for opportunistic infection in KTRs.
