Popis: Objectives Recurrent urinary tract infections (rUTIs) occur frequently after kidney transplantation (KT), however their optimal management remains undefined. This study aimed to identify risk factors for rUTI and to validate a protocol for UTI and rUTI treatment after KT. Methods This retrospective cohort study involved patients undergoing KT between January 2013 and July 2016. Patients were followed-up from day of KT until graft loss, death or end of follow-up (31 December 2018). We analysed all episodes of symptomatic UTI. The main outcome measure was rUTI after KT. Analysis was done per episode in a multilevel approach; patient features were considered in the distal level and UTI features in the proximal level. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed by Cox regression. A propensity score was used to adjust the risk of patients with carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae. Results During the study period, 787 patients underwent KT, of whom 152 (19.3%) developed 356 UTI episodes. The most common micro-organisms wereEscherichia coli (165/356; 46.3%) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (101/356; 28.4%). Multidrug-resistant micro-organisms were isolated in 161 UTIs (45.2%). Risk factors for rUTI were diabetic nephropathy as the cause of end-stage renal disease (P = 0.02), UTI in first 180 days after KT (P = 0.04), anatomic alteration of the urinary tract at UTI diagnosis (P = 0.004) and length of time to effective therapy (P = 0.002); UTI treatment duration according to institutional protocol (P = 0.04) was the only protective factor identified. Conclusion Appropriate therapy duration has an impact on rUTI prevention after KT.
