Fate of Dysfunctional Bladder after Pediatric Renal Transplantation

Introduction: Graft function on long term into patients with LUTD is still a myth, So, we aimed know the natural history of LUTD and graft function into patient with abnormal lower urinary tract. Patient and Method: The study was conducted by retrospective review of 129 files of pediatric live renal transplant patients;Patients in either group had clinical evaluation of lower urinary tract function and assessment of graft functions at least one year after RT. Results: On evaluation the magnitude of change of cystometric variables we found 57% improvement of incidence of urodynamic detrusor overactivity and 48% improvement in patient categorized as poor/ decreased compliance. There was 90% increase in the number of patients with adequate capacity. Patients showed 55.5% decrease in the number of patient with high PVR. Conclusion: Live donor renal transplant into pediatric patients with LUTD due to organic or neurogenic lower urinary tract pathology showed high serum creatinine on long term follow up.
