The objective of this study was to analyze the therapeutic management of renal calculi in transplant patients. METHODS This retrospective multicenter study was done by the Transplantation Committee of the French Association of Urology (CTAFU). Survey for data collection have been distributed to all members of CTAFU. Statistical analysis was performed using the IBM software SPSS.19. RESULTS 95 patients were included in this study. The discovery of the calculi of the transplant was incidental in 55 % of cases, mainly during an ultrasound control. Symptomatic stones were discovered by an urinary tract infection or by an acute renal failure. The location of the stones was intra-renal (54%) and ureteral (46%) with a majority of landlocked stones at the ureterovesical anastomosis . 10% of patients had a previous uropathy and 18% had metabolic abnormality known prior to transplantation . Hyperparathyroidism (mostly secondary) was known at diagnosis in 33% of transplant patients and 4 % of patients presented calcium deposits on a previous transplant biopsy. 22 % of stones occurred after a post- operative complication: 8% hematoma around the kidney, 12 % stenosis of ureterovesical anastomosis, and 2% of transplant pyelonephritis . The initial management was an endo ureteral stent (27%), a nephrostomy tube (21%), or simple watchful waiting (52%). Final managment charge was: monitoring watchful waiting (44%), extracorporeal lithotripsy (14%), rigid or flexible ureteroscopy (28%) or percutaneous nephrolithotomy ( 12%) and surgical pyelotomy ( 2%). All kidneys transplant stayed functional. CONCLUSIONS Transplant patients are potentially at greater risk of stone due to any anatomical abnormalities (stenosis of ureterovesical junction) and possible metabolic abnormalities (secondary hyperparathyroidism). The therapeutic management of renal transplant stones seems to be comparable to that of native kidneys. © 2014FiguresReferencesRelatedDetails Volume 191Issue 4SApril 2014Page: e776 Advertisement Copyright & Permissions© 2014MetricsAuthor Information Julien Branchereau More articles by this author Marc Olivier Timsit More articles by this author Yann Neuzillet More articles by this author Thomas Bessède More articles by this author Marc Gigante More articles by this author Xavier Tillou More articles by this author Thuret Rodolphe More articles by this author Ricardo Codas More articles by this author Jean Michel Boutin More articles by this author Arnaud Doerfler More articles by this author Federico Sallusto More articles by this author Thibault Culty More articles by this author Véronique Delaporte More articles by this author Nicolas Brichart More articles by this author Simon Vanagt More articles by this author Sebastien Michaud More articles by this author Julie Rode More articles by this author Claire Billault More articles by this author Benoît Barrou More articles by this author Laurent Salomon More articles by this author Georges Karam More articles by this author Lionel Badet More articles by this author Francois Kleiclauss More articles by this author Expand All Advertisement Advertisement PDF downloadLoading ...
