Double Voiding and Post-transplant UTI
A Randomized Trial of Double Voiding Versus Usual Voiding to Reduce the Incidence of Urinary Tract Infections in Kidney Transplant Recipients
Weill Medical College of Cornell University
438 participants
Apr 7, 2023
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
Urinary tract infections (UTI) are common in kidney transplant recipients and are an important cause of illness and hospital admissions. Past studies have shown that about 1 out of 5 of newly transplanted patients develop UTI within their first 3 months of transplantation. Such UTIs increase the risk for blood stream infection and acute rejection of the kidney, Improvements in urinary voiding techniques may reduce the frequency of UTI. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the benefits of "double voiding" in kidney transplant recipients.

Inclusion Criteria1
- All adult kidney transplant recipients who undergo routine follow-up at the New York Presbyterian - Weill Cornell Medicine (NYP-WCM) Transplant Clinic.
Exclusion Criteria1
