Southern Iran Transplant Center, Nemazee Hospital, Shiraz, Fars, Iran. INTRODUCTION AND AIMS: The most frequent infectious complications after renal transplantation is urinary tract infection.(UTI)Renal stone with impediment to the free flow of urine, results in hydronephrosis and a greatly increased frequency of UTI. Treatment of renal stone before transplant may reduce the risk of post transplant UTI and as a result, can decrease the rate of graft rejection. The aim of this study is to evaluate the role of pre-transplant treatment of renal stone in the frequency of post transplant UTI development. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 1022 kidney transplant recipients who had undergone transplant between 1998 and 2003 in Shiraz . Among 1022 renal transplant recipients, 92 patients with pre-transplant renal stone were enrolled in the study. We divided the patients into two groups: group1 were patients with pre-transplant renal stone treatment and group 2 were patients without renal stone treatment.All the patients were evaluated to have any urinary tract infection in the first two weeks of hospitalization after transplant. RESULTS: Of the 1022 patient s records, 92 (9%) that had renal stones were divided into two groups.68 patients with pre-transplant stone treatment (group one) and 24 patients without stone treatment (group two). Of 68 patients in the first group, 18 patients (26.4%) and of 24 patients in second group, 11 patients (45.8%) developed UTI but there were not any significant difference between these two groups (p=0.07). CONCLUSIONS: This study shows that renal transplant recipients with renal stone are at the same risk for developing UTI compare to those without renal stone.
