Abstract

Objectives: (1) Describe the clinical and subclinical characteristics of pneumonia in patients after kidney transplantation. (2) Evaluate the results of treatment for pneumonia after kidney transplantation in this group of patients. Subjects and methods: a cross-sectional description of 116 patients who suffer from pneumonia after kidney transplantation until July 2022. Result: The mean time of onset of pneumonia after the kidney transplant was 28.54 ± 24.11 months. The immunosuppressive therapy being maintained is mainly Steroid + Tacrolimus + MMF/MPA (92.2%). Common clinical symptoms are fever (62.1%), cough with sputum (51.7%), and shortness of breath (25.9%). Patients were treated with 1 antibiotic (47.4%) or a combination of 2 antibiotics (43.1%) with the most commonly used antibiotics being carbapenems (83.2%) and quinolone (49,5%). The average number of days of inpatient treatment was 16.99 ± 9.12 days with the results of cure, hospital discharge up to 84.5%, and referral (13.8%). Conclusion: Pneumonia is a common complication in patients after kidney transplant and is at risk of serious complications if not detected early and treated promptly
