Abstract

The advent of modern potent immunosuppression has significantly reduced the occurrence of rejection in renal allograft recipients but has increased the risk of infection, which remains the major cause of death in these patients.
This single-center retrospective observational study was conducted at a tertiary care center in India. Data were collected from medical records of renal allograft recipients admitted for infection-related complications over a 10-year duration.
Out of 238 admissions, 63 (26.47%) were due to infection-related complications involving 59 unique patients. The most common infections were urinary tract infections (UTIs) (n = 24) and pneumonia (n = 19). Of the two patients requiring multiple admissions, one patient had two episodes of pneumonia and one episode of UTI, and the other patient needed three admissions for diabetic foot. Six patients succumbed to their illness, resulting in a mortality rate of 10.16%, with sepsis due to UTI being the most common cause of death.
