    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Transplantation Medicine

    Background:

    • Renal transplantation is a life-saving procedure for end-stage renal disease.
    • Post-transplant infections are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality.
    • Understanding infection patterns is crucial for improving patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the incidence and types of infectious complications following renal transplantation.
    • To identify common sites and causative agents of infections in renal transplant recipients.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 74 patients who underwent renal transplantation.
    • Categorization of infections by type (bacterial, viral, fungal) and site.
    • Documentation of infection prevalence and specific sites involved.

    Main Results:

    • Bacterial infections occurred in 69% of patients, viral in 48%, and fungal in 17%.
    • The urinary tract was the most common site of infection (56%), followed by the lungs (24%).
    • Other sites included upper respiratory tract (17%), cellulitis (7%), and CNS infections (4%).

    Conclusions:

    • Infectious complications are highly prevalent after renal transplantation.
    • Bacterial infections, particularly urinary tract infections, dominate the post-transplant landscape.
    • Proactive surveillance and management strategies are essential for renal transplant recipients.
