However, with an increasing demand for renal transplant and extended wait times for patients receiving a renal transplant, it remains imperative to reduce complications that could decrease graft function. In renal transplant patients, urinary tract infection (UTI) remains one of the most common complications. Given its association with poorer graft function and patient survival, methods to reduce UTI in this subset of patients is important. If allowed to progress to urosepsis, the detrimental effects on graft function and patient morbidity and mortality are exacerbated. While antibiotic prophylaxis and immunosuppression adjustment have drastically reduced the incidence of UTI after renal transplant, the rate of serious complications remains high. Our objective is to evaluate factors associated with UTI and urosepsis in renal transplant patients to better identify patients at risk. We hypothesize that there will be a correlation between a history of recurrent UTI or urinary retention with the development of postoperative UTI or urosepsis requiring hospitalization.
