Common Infection

Urinary tract infection (UTI) represents the most common infection after kidney transplantation and remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality in kidney transplant (KT) recipients, with a potential impact on graft survival. UTIs after KT are usually caused by Gram-negative microorganisms. Other pathogens which are uncommon in the general population should be considered in KT patients, especially BK virus since an early diagnosis is necessary to improve the prognosis. UTIs following kidney transplantation are classified into acute simple cystitis, acute pyelonephritis/complicated UTI, and recurrent UTI, due to their different clinical presentation, prognosis, and management. Asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) represents a frequent finding after kidney transplantation, but ASB is considered to be a separate entity apart from UTI since it is not necessarily a disease state. In fact, current guidelines do not recommend routine screening and treatment of ASB in KT patients, since a beneficial effect has not been shown. Harmful effects such as the development of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria and a higher incidence of Clostridium difficile diarrhea have been associated with the antibiotic treatment of ASB.

Current Guidelines

Urine cultures are frequently obtained for hospitalized patients. We reviewed documented indications for culture and compared these with professional society guidelines. Lack of documentation and important clinical scenarios (before orthopedic procedures and when the patient has altered mental status without a urinary catheter) are highlighted as areas of use outside of current guidelines.
