INTRODUCTION: Kidney transplantation is now a routine method used to treat end-stage renal disease. About 10 % of kidney transplant patients are patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). After successful kidney transplantation, recurrent urinary tract infections also occur in initially asymptomatic patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The group included 320 patients after kidney transplantation. We compared patients with ADPKD versus patients without ADPKD in terms of the presence of recurrent urinary tract infections. THE RESULTS: The incidence of recurrent urinary tract infections (rIMCs) was 18% in patients without ADPKD and 48% in patients without ADPKD. Nephrectomy after kidney transplantation due to recurrent urinary tract infections eliminated this infectious complication (in 86% of patients). CONCLUSION: Kidney transplant patients with ADPKD have a significantly higher incidence of recurrent urinary tract infections. Removal of polycystic kidneys is a suitable solution if the infection persists.
