Abstract
Dysfunction of the urinary bladder is often faced in kidney transplantation due to various structural, neurological, infectious, or other pathologies. As the goal is to obtain a well functioning urinary bladder or at least, a low-pressure reservoir without reflux, specific urologic examinations and therapies should be performed. This review based on a Medline and PubMed search as well as on international guidelines and personal experience, reflects the actual knowledge in the field of pretransplant urologic evaluation as well as pre- and posttransplant optimal therapeutic options. The evaluation of these factors and interventional strategies will help to improve long-term transplant outcomes.
