Posttranplant Urinary Tract Infection Rates and Graft Outcome in Kidney Transplantation for End-Stage Renal Disease Due to Reflux Nephropathy Versus Chronic Glomerulonephritis

Abstract

Background. The goal of this study was to evaluate posttransplant urinary tract infection (UTI) rates and graft outcome in kidney transplantation for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) due to vesicoureteral reflux (VUR)-related reflux nephropathy (RN) versus chronic glomerulonephritis (CGN).
