Prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria among kidney transplant recipients beyond two months post-transplant: A multicenter, prospective, cross-sectional study
2019
Background
During routine post-kidney transplant care, most European transplant physicians screen patients for asymptomatic bacteriuria. The usefulness of this strategy is debated. To make screening cost-effective, asymptomatic bacteriuria should be prevalent enough to justify the expense, and antibiotics should improve patient outcomes significantly if asymptomatic bacteriuria is detected. Regrettably, the prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria among kidney transplant recipients is not well defined.
