URINARY SYSTEM INFECTION FREQUENCY IN RECIPIENTS RECEIVING VARIOUS SCHEMES OF BASIS IMMUNOSUPPRESSION

Abstract

Aim. To improve the results of related kidney transplantation by optimizing immunosuppressive therapy

Material and methods. The study included the results of 80 allotransplantations of the related kidney (ATPP), performed to patients from 2011 to 2017 in the kidney transplant department of the NSCOTT and in the department of kidney transplantation of the Dangara regional hospital. The average follow-up time after kidney transplantation was 1276 ± 52 days. The study group included 56 (70 %%) men and 24 (30%) women.

The average age of recipients at the time of kidney transplantation was 38.19 ± 0.917 years, the median age was 39.0 years (14.4-62.5 years), the maximum age was 62.5 years and the minimum age was 14.4 years.

Results. The frequency of occurrence of urinary tract infection in recipients receiving different patterns of basic immunosuppression after related kidney transplantation was analyzed.

Conclusion. The study showed that improvement of immunosuppression (reduction of steroid doses, administration of CsA in medium doses in combination with Aza) allowed reducing the incidence of urinary tract infections in patients after TP.
