Urological Complications with and without Double J Stenting Renal Transplant patients - A single center experience

Aim: To compare the urological complications with and without DJ stent in renal transplant patient. Method: A total of 300 transplants were included in this study. These were divided into two groups, Group A (n=150) with DJ Stent and Group B (n=150) without DJ stent. The two groups were randomized and urological complications were compared. Results: These both groups were comparable regarding age, sex, serum creatinine level and follow up period. Ureteric leakage was 0.66% in group A and 1.33% in group B. Urinary tract infection was the main complication in both groups 8.0% and 6.0% in group A and group B respectively. Discussion: Urological complications in live renal transplant with and without DJ stent were comparable in our study. Our study shows that urinary leakage was low (0.66%) and (1.33%) in Group A and Group B respectively as compared to other studies where it was 2.9 to 21% (19). There was no significant different in Group A and Group B.
