Abstract
Urinary tract infections in kidney transplant patients are a real challenge. We conducted a retrospective observational study, enrolling all kidney transplant patients hospitalized for urinary tract infection (UTI), with the objective to evaluate the epidemiology, clinical sta-tus, therapeutic management, and clinical outcome of kidney transplant patients hospi-talized for urinary tract infection in a university hospital. From our real-life experience, infection with multidrug-resistant germs was confirmed as a risk factor for the severe evolution of the infection and at the same time the re-evaluation of immunosuppressive therapy could be an important therapeutic strategy in the course of infection. Prompt ini-tiation of empiric antibiotic therapy upon initiation of microbiological investigations could potentially reduce the risk of severe infection progression.
