[SP727] SHORT-TERM URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS IN RENAL TRANSPLANT RECIPIENTS WITH RENAL STONE Afsoon Fazelzadeh, Alireza Mehdizadeh, Jamshid Rouzbeh, Mehdi Salehipour, Heshmatollah Salahi. 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.
