Diagnosis & Disease Information
Post-Transplant UTI Not Linked to Ureteral Stents
Ureteral stents are not associated with an increased risk of urinary tract infection (UTI) following renal transplantation, according to new findings presented at the 48th Annual Meeting of the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA).
Men at Higher Risk for AUR After BoNTA Treatment
Researchers in Taiwan have identified risk factors for adverse events (AEs) from intravesical injections of botulinum toxin A (BoNTA) for refractory idiopathic detrusor overactivity (IDO).
UTI Risk in Spinal Injury Reduced by New Catheter
Hydrophilic-coated catheter shorted time to first UTI in patients with acute spinal cord injuries.

Recurrent UTIs After Renal Transplants
BOSTON—Older age, female gender, and delayed graft function are among the independent risk factors for recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) among renal transplant recipients.
Older Drugs May Be Okay For VRE UTIs
BOSTON—Clinicians may want to rethink the antibiotics they prescribe for vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) urinary tract infections (UTIs).
Renal Impairment Linked to E. coli Infection
MONTREAL—A decade after contracting acute diarrheal illness from infection with Escherichia coli 0157:H7, individuals are at increased risk for definite renal impairment with microalbuminuria, hypertension, and cardiovascular events compared with individuals not infected with the pathogen.
