Bladder evacuating capacity after renal transplantation.

V Prát, K Slíz, V Kocandrle

    Summary

    Recurrent urinary tract infections are linked to increased residual bladder volume, indicating impaired bladder emptying. Bladder wall injury during ureteral implantation may be the primary cause, increasing susceptibility to infection.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Nephrology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) pose a significant clinical challenge.
    • Assessing bladder function is crucial for understanding UTI pathogenesis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between residual bladder volume and recurrent UTIs.
    • To identify factors contributing to impaired bladder evacuating capacity.

    Main Methods:

    • Radioisotope method used to measure residual bladder volume.
    • Study included healthy subjects, patients with recurrent UTIs, and renal transplant recipients.

    Main Results:

    • Patients with recurrent UTIs exhibited significantly higher residual bladder volumes compared to other groups.
    • Increased residual bladder volume was not correlated with age, postoperative duration, vesicoureteral reflux, or pretransplantation diuresis.

    Conclusions:

    • Disturbed bladder evacuating capacity, indicated by increased residual volume, is a key factor in recurrent UTIs.
    • Bladder wall injury during neo-ureteral implantation is suggested as the primary cause of impaired bladder function.
    • Impaired bladder function increases susceptibility to bacterial invasion and lower urinary tract infections.
