Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Antimicrobial treatment of asymptomatic bacteriuria (AB) in kidney transplant recipients (KTR) is controversial. The investigators performed a comparative, parallel-group, randomized, open-label study to assess, in a real clinical setting, the feasibility of and benefit derived from systematic search and antimicrobial treatment of all episodes of AB.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

All patients undergoing KT between January 2011 and December 2013 in a tertiary-care center with an active transplantation program were systematically searched for AB within the first 2 years after transplantation on a regular basis. During the first 2 months after transplantation all episodes of AB were treated. Thereafter, patients were assigned, according to a computer-generated randomization sequence, to group A (systematic antimicrobial treatment of all episodes of AB) or group B (no treatment). Treatment was chosen according to the results of the urine culture.
