Patients and Methods
This retrospective observational study evaluated 334 kidney transplant patients between 2014 and 2018. Data were collected from the clinic history and registration of donor, recipient, type of donation, and renal peritransplant data. The variables collected are as follows.
The qualitative variables of the study include history of prostate disease, smoking, urinary tract infection, renal lithiasis, ureterovesical reflux (UR), presence of polar artery, level of polar artery, type of ureterovesical
Results
The mean age of recipients was 54.54 ± 12.48 years, and mean body mass index was 26.8 1 ± 4.59 kg/m2. Of the patients, 29.6% were women and 70.4% were men, 52.6% were smokers, and 21.1% had diabetes mellitus. The most prevalent etiology of chronic kidney disease was the glomerular disease in 23.2% of them. The mean age of donors was 51.65 ± 14.2 years. Donations came from alive donors in 5.7% and from deceased donors in 94.3% of cases, of these 63.4% were from encephalic deaths and 36.6% from
Discussion
US/O etiology is not well defined. The incidence of this pathology presents a variable range in several studies of surgical complications in renal transplantation. A few studies describe this entity and its possible causes [2,5]. Factors that influence US/O etiology include donor characteristics, donation type, surgery related, and post-transplantation evolution. Two retrospective studies focus on different influential factors of US/O. First, Karam et al [4] studied 1787 kidney transplant
