Objective is to analyze the prevalence, clinical manifestations, diagnostic features and outcomes of incrusting cystitis and pyelitis (IC and IP, respectively) in patients with kidney transplantation according to the literature.
Material and methods. Russian and foreign literature in Russian and English was searched in Medline/PubMed, RSCI/Elibrary,
CyberLeninka, Google Scholar databases. The analysis included journal articles, literature reviews, original studies, and clinical
cases. Materials from conference proceedings, abstracts, dissertations, textbooks, and training manuals were not considered. Since
IC and IP are rare conditions, the search covered the works published from 1992 to 2022.
Conclusions. Renal transplant recipients should be considered a high-risk group for the development of an incrusting urinary
tract infection due to Corynebacterium urealyticum. The outcome of these diseases is difficult to predict, so the diagnosis of IC and
IP should be made as soon as possible. Untimely or inadequate treatment in patients who underwent kidney transplantation is highly
likely to result in graft loss.
