Clinical Case
A kidney transplant recipient presents with recurrent febrile urinary tract infections. What are your concerns for graft injury? How will you evaluate for bladder dysfunction, reflux and treat/prevent other predisposing factors? How should immunosuppression be managed? Are there options for antimicrobial prophylaxis? Should you be worried about antimicrobial resistance? What will be the long-term consequences on graft function/survival?

  • Review risk factors for developing recurrent urinary tract infections after pediatric kidney transplantation.
  • Recognize how recurrent infections affect allograft function and survival.
