Complications in the immediate and early postoperative period following kidney transplantation from related donor

Abstract

We investigated prevalence and characteristics of infectious purulent and non-infectious complications in living related renal transplant recipients in the early postoperative period. We identified the microorganisms prevalent in urinary tract infections: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterobacter cloacae, Citrobacter freundii, Staphylo-coccus epidermidis, Enterococcus faecalis, and tested for their antibiotic usceptibility. The prophylaxis and treatment schemes that have been developed, as well as the chosen antimicrobial drug dosing regimens allowed a reduction in infectious complication rates
