Influence of Graft Ureter Length, a Donor-Related Factor, on Urinary Tract Infections After Living-Donor Kidney Transplantation: A Single-Center Analysis of 211 Cases

Abstract: Urinary tract infection (UTI) occurs in 25% of recipients of living-donor kidney transplantation (LDKT). Female sex, age, and anatomical abnormalities have been reported as recipient-related risk factors for UTI after LDKT; few studies have reported donor-related factors. We retrospectively examined UTI occurrence within 5 years of transplantation in recipients (n = 211) who underwent LDKT at our hospital between April 2011 and April 2021. All nephrectomies were performed using a retroperitoneal pure laparosco… Show more

“…Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a serious problem in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), especially in individuals undergoing dialysis or kidney transplant ( Grabe et al, 2015 ; Coussement et al, 2020 ). UTI is associated with increased risks of acute rejection, allograft dysfunction, graft loss, increased hospital stays, and mortality ( Ariza-Heredia et al, 2014 ; Koga et al, 2022 ). Furthermore, a recurrent UTI, which occurs in 7% of the patients after kidney transplantation, is one of the leading causes of allograft loss and death ( Britt et al, 2017 ).…”

“…The underlying disease as a risk factor for a positive urine fi nding at the time of pig-tail extraction was not confi rmed either in our analysis or in the study of Lee et al ( 4). An interesting result came from the study by Koga et al from 2022, where the occurrence of IMT may be related to the length and diameter of the kidney ureter from a living donor (17).…”
