Background: Renal transplant is one of the best ways to extend life of patients with end-stages renal disease (ESRD). Many factors, such as serious infections, can affect successful renal transplantation. Objective: To determine frequency, risk factors, causative pathogens, and clinical profiles of kidney recipients in Mashhad, northeastern Iran, during the first year after renal transplantation. Methods: This study was conducted in Montaserie Hospital, affiliated to Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, during March 2013 to July 2014. All studied cases were followed for one year. 193 kidney recipients, included 118 males (61.1%) and 75 females (38.9%), with a mean±SD age of 34.4±14.2 years, were enrolled in this retrospective study. There were 58 kidney transplantations from living donors (30.1%) and 135 from cadaver (69.9%). Results: 160 infectious episodes occurred in 96 patients. The most common infection site was urinary tract (36.8%). Escherichia coli and cytomegalovirus (CMV) were the most frequent isolated pathogens. Conclusion: Infections are highly prevalent during the first year post-transplantation. Prevention and effective antibiotic therapy will decrease these complications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
