Özet

Background. Although infectious complications are the second most common cause of death after transplantation, there appears to be insufficient data regarding the impact of urinary tract infections (UTIs) on graft outcome and patient mortality and morbidity. In this study, we evaluated the incidence, risk factors, and long-term effects of UTIs on graft function.
