Abstract

Background: Inserting ureteral stent for allograft ureter during anastomosing reduces the complication rate of the procedure. It is recommended by some experts but stent is a foreign body and may cause some complications including infection.Objective: To determine the correlation between urine cultures taken one week post-transplantation (at the time of the Foley catheter removal), four weeks post-transplantation (at the time of ureteral catheter removal), and ureteric stent bacteria in allograft kidney.Methods: 61 kidney transplant recipients who underwent transplantation at our center between 2012 and 2015, were studied. The participants included 34 males and 27 females aged between 12 to 60 years. They were operated by the same team and received the same immunosuppressive and antibiotic regimens. All the information with details of urine and stent cultures were collected and analyzed. Four weeks post-transplantation, the ureter stent was removed and cultured. The result of stent culture was compared with the urine culture sampled one week post-transplantation (during removal of urethral the Foley catheter from the bladder) and also with urine the culture of the sample taken before removing the ureter stent four weeks post-transplantation.Results: In 18 (7 female and 11 male) patients the ureter stent culture was positive. In only one patient the result of urine culture before ureter stent removal at four weeks post-transplantation, was positive. In 12 patients the result of the urine cultures at the time of removing urethral Foley catheter (one week post-transplantation) and ureter stent culture were positive; in 18 (11 female and 7 male) patients, urine culture at the time of removing urethral Foley catheter (one week post-transplantation) was positive but none had a positive ureter stent culture.Conclusion: Four weeks post-transplantation, 3% of ureteral stent cultures were positive but concomitant urine cultures were negative, which means urine culture did not indicate bacteria of ureteral stent. However, there was correlation between urine culture during removing urethral Foley catheter from the bladder and ureteral stent culture.
