These studies suggest that kidney infections are treated with antibiotics, sometimes involving early removal of stents, and may require individualized treatment plans, antimicrobial prophylaxis, the involvement of antibiotic stewardship teams, and in certain cases, phage therapy or minimal immunosuppression, with diagnostic imaging aiding in early diagnosis.
Kidney infections, particularly in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs), are a significant concern due to the increased risk of morbidity and mortality. These infections can be symptomatic or asymptomatic and require careful management to ensure the health of the patient and the graft.
In conclusion, the treatment of kidney infections, especially in KTRs, involves a combination of timely antibiotic therapy, careful monitoring, and management of risk factors. The use of antibiotics must be judicious to prevent resistance, and alternative treatments such as phage therapy may offer new avenues for managing chronic and drug-resistant infections. The distinction between symptomatic UTIs and asymptomatic bacteriuria is critical, with the former requiring treatment and the latter often not. Antibiotic stewardship and individualized treatment strategies are essential for effective management and the preservation of graft function.
