Contemporary risk factors for ureteral stricture following renal transplantation.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Allograft ureteral strictures after renal transplantation impact graft function and increase patient morbidity. They can be challenging to treat and may require complex surgical repair. Therefore, the objective of this study was to identify contemporary risk factors for the development of post-renal transplant ureteral strictures.

Methods

A retrospective analysis was performed on all renal transplant patients at Vancouver General Hospital from 2008-2019. Demographics, clinical parameters, and outcomes were compared between patients who did and did not develop ureteral strictures. Putative risk factors for ureteral stricture were analyzed using logistic regression.

Results

A total of 1167 patients were included with a mean followup of 61.9±40.8 months. Ure
