Incidence, Risk Factors and Outcomes of Kidney and Liver Cyst Infection in Kidney Transplant Recipient With ADPKD.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Cyst infection is a known complication of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Here, we describe incidence, risk factors, clinical presentation, and outcomes of cyst infection in kidney transplant recipient.

Methods

We conducted a single-center retrospective cohort study of patients with ADPKD with renal allografts between January 1, 2009, and October 31, 2020. Cyst infection diagnosis was based on previously described clinical and radiological criteria, using positron emission tomography when available.

Results

A total of 296 patients with ADPKD with renal allografts were included, and 21 patients experienced 22 episodes of cyst infection over a median follow-up of 4 (2-7) years. The cumulative incidence rate was 3% at 1 year, 6 % at 5 y
