“…However, the HP positivity rate in our CKD patient population was similar to the HP positivity rate of 27.8% in another study in which a total of 2530 patients including the general population admitted to our endoscopy unit were evaluated. [13] Although it is below the average in Turkey, it is similar to the current HP positivity rate in our endoscopy population, suggesting that the difference with the literature may be explained by local prevalence. Most of the HP prevalence rates reported in the literature are based on older studies and the idea that HP prevalence decreases with both treatment and hygiene standards remains a problem that needs to be tested.…”

“…This rate is similar to the IM rate of 26.8% in our study cited above. [13] Acute upper GI tract bleeding is higher in patients with ESRD compared to the general population. [15] Because of the high mortality risk, upper GI tract ulcers and erosions should be recognized and treated without bleeding in patients who will receive high-dose corticosteroid therapy after renal transplantation.…”

BACKGROUND The aim of this study is to present and discuss upper gastrointestinal tract endoscopy findings in renal transplant candidates with a high incidence of gastrointestinal system diseases. METHODS Between January 2014 and December 2019, patients over the age of 18 who were on dialysis for chronic renal failure and renal transplant candidates at xxx University xxx Hospital were included in the study. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopic findings and pathology results (atrophy, helicobacter pylori and intestinal metaplasia) of the patients were retrospectively evaluated by scanning from the electronic archive system of the hospital. RESULTS The study included 105 patients. 53 (50.5%) of the patients were male. The mean age of the patients was 44.09 ± 14.16 years and there was no statistically significant difference between male and female sexes (p=0.961). The most common endoscopic findings were pangastritis (44.8%), antral gastritis (27.6%) and esophagitis (16.2%). Only 4 (3.8%) patients had duodenal ulcer. Atrophy was positive in 3 (13%) of 23 patients, HP was positive in 19 (27.1%) of 67 patients and IM was positive in 17 (24.3%) of 56 patients. CONCLUSIONS Patients who are renal transplant candidates should be reviewed for indication of routine upper endoscopic examination before transplantation to prevent upper GI tract complications that may develop after transplantation.
