Diabetes and Anuria Predict High Post-Void Residual After Kidney Transplantation: Study
A prospective study found that diabetes mellitus and anuria are significant predictors of high post-void residual following kidney transplantation in patients with end-stage kidney disease. In male recipients, larger prostate volume was also associated with a higher risk of urethral re-catheterisation, highlighting the importance of urologic risk assessment in transplant care.
This study investigated the risk factors for both high post-void residual (PVR) and the need for urinary re-catheterisation (RC) following kidney transplantation (KT). Our objectives were to develop a predictive risk model for high post-void residual and to outline a management strategy for patients who experience post-transplant elevated post-void residual. This prospective study included 110 adult patients who underwent kidney transplantation. High post-void residual was defined as > 150 mL in non-anuric patients and > 50 mL in anuric patients. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify predictive factors for high post-void residual. Urinary re-catheterisation was evaluated as a secondary outcome.
