The risk of malignancy after transplantation is increased compared to the general population, due to the impact of immunosuppressing medication. Non- melanoma skin cancers are the most common cancers in renal transplant patients, followed by renal, bladder, and thyroid. Oncogenic viruses can play a role in the development of lymphoma and lymphoproliferative disease after transplantation. Post- transplant lymphoproliferative disorder is a malignancy primarily of B- cell origin and related to Epstein– Barr virus proliferation. It affects only 1– 2% of kidney transplant recipients but is a life- threatening disease.
Despite improvements in immunosuppression and donor selection, a chronic de­terioration in graft function and eventual progression back to dialysis is inevitable. This damage is a combination of immunological and non- immune effects resulting in interstitial fibrosis, tubular atrophy, and glomerular sclerosis. It is therefore important to identify and treat, or ideally prevent, the potential modifiable risk factors.
Learning point Risk factors for renal allograft damage
Following renal transplantation, modifiable risk factors for renal allograft damage and deterioration in function should be addressed. Non- modifiable risk factors are also described below.
Modifiable risk factors
● Calcineurin inhibitor toxicity.
● Ascending infection/ sepsis.
● Hypertension.
● Hyperlipidaemia.
● Smoking status.
● Non- compliance with medication.
Non- modifiable risk factors
● Deceased donor.
● Older donor.
● Reperfusion injury.
● Delayed graft function.
● Acute rejection.
● Recipient ethnicity.
● HLA mismatch.

Renal transplantation is an expanding, exciting, and developing surgical field. Despite an increase in the number of transplants done, the waiting list continues to increase in many countries due to the rising numbers of patients with CKD. Attempts have been made to address this need by increasing the use of kidneys from donation after circulatory death, live donation, and by extending the criteria for acceptable brain death donors in terms of age or comorbidity. Research into new reconditioning technologies may further expand the potential donor pool. Many transplant recipients will need more than one transplant over their lifetime due to the still limited life expectancy of a transplanted organ. It is hoped that improvements in immunosuppression may address this particular issue by preventing chronic allograft nephropathy and return to dialysis.

Recurrent urinary tract infections and non- neurogenic neurogenic bladder in children
Martin Skott
Expert commentary Imran Mushtaq
Case history
A 5- year- old girl with recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) was referred to our clinic. No problems were detected on antenatal scans, and she was potty trained at the age of 3– 5 years. She had slight constipation, which was managed with laxatives.
Recently, she had been suffering from frequent daytime incontinence and occasion­ally night- time incontinence. Her mother described a classic history of withholding urination and urgency, although she had good sensation of bladder fullness. Mainly, she had been asymptomatic with no temperatures or dysuria. She reported a good fluid intake of 1.5 L per day. There was no relevant past medical history or family history of any significance. Pending further investigations, she was commenced on trimethoprim prophylaxis.
Expert comment UTI in children
UTI represents the most common bacterial infection in children.1 In infants and children, the symptoms differ from those in neonates (Table 43.1). The incidence of UTIs varies depending on age and sex. In the first year of life, UTIs are more common in boys (3.7%), especially if they are uncircumcised, than in girls (2%). Later, the incidence changes, and about 3% of all prepubertal girls and 1% of prepubertal boys suffer from UTIs.

Challenging Concepts in Urological Surgery
It is essential to differentiate between lower UTIs (cystitis) and pyelonephritis (infections of the kidney parenchyma, with fever) because one- third of all pyelonephritis episodes will result in a parenchymal scar.
In community acquired UTIs, Escherichia coli is found in approximately 75% of the urine cultures. In contrast, in nosocomial UTIs, the most common organisms seen are Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas spp., Enterobacter spp., Enterococcus spp., and Candida spp.

Cardiovascular, respiratory, and abdominal examinations were normal with no evi­dence of faecal loading. The spine, lower extremities, and gait were normal and exam­ination of external genitalia revealed normal anatomy.
Bladder function assessment showed a uroflow profile suggestive of abdominal straining with post- void residual urine of 30 mL and a reasonable capacity with a volume of 200 mL (estimated to be 188 mL). She voided eight to nine times per day,
Clinical tip Bladder capacity
Several studies have shown that functional bladder capacity at different ages can be accurately estimated as a function of age with no differences in sex. For young infants, it can be expressed as
Bladder capacity (mL) = 38 + (2.5 × age (months))
For older children:
Bladder capacity (mL) = 30 + (age (years) × 30)
5,6
Learning point Residual
urine
Residual urine is assessed by ultrasonography after a uroflow measurement. It is well known that healthy infants and toddlers do not fully empty the bladder every time they void, but should do so at least once during a 4- hour observation period.7 Older children, however, are expected to empty their bladder to completion.
with episodes of dampness and urgency.
An ultrasound scan of the urinary tract showed both kidneys to be of normal size and echotexture, but with mild pelvicalyceal dilatation bilaterally. The bladder wall appeared slightly irregular and thickened, and a residual volume of urine was present post- void (Figure 43.1a). Diuretic renal scintigraphy using technetium- 99m ( mercaptoacetyltriglycine (MAG3) with indirect cystography was suggestive of func-
:
tional asymmetry (44% right side and 56% on the left side). Both kidneys and ureters demonstrated some stasis of tracer in the collecting system and ureters. There was no evidence of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), though incomplete bladder emptying, on the indirect cystography (Figure 43.1b).
Expert comment Diagnostic workup
There is controversy about whether imaging studies should be performed after the first or after recurring episodes of UTI. In general, a maximum of two UTI episodes in girls and one episode in boys should trigger imaging studies. In terms of febrile UTI in infants, renal ultrasonography is strongly recommended as the first- line investigation.
Renal ultrasonography
Urinary tract imaging comprises of some form of renal and upper collecting system evaluation, usually renal ultrasonography and, selectively, voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG) and functional studies. As renal ultrasonography is not dependent upon renal function, it will detect both gross and subtle

abnormalities of the urinary tract, including those that involve poorly functioning or non- functioning renal units. On the other hand, it is highly operator dependent and is not reliable to detect VUR.
VCUG
8
A VCUG is still the gold standard to investigate VUR. The VCUG may be performed either with fluoroscopy and iodinated contrast medium or with nuclear imaging, but these studies give different information. A fluoroscopic VCUG can show urethral and bladder abnormalities and VUR. A radionuclide VCUG (usually
99m
Tc- MAG3) offers poor spatial resolution so anatomical details of the urinary tract and the degree of reflux may not be so easy to assess. The radionuclide VCUG can be performed using similar techniques as the traditional fluoroscopic VCUG with retrograde filling of the bladder with the radionuclide or indirect in which the radionuclide is injected intravenously and cleared from the kidneys into the bladder. VUR detection by either fluoroscopic or radionuclide VCUG is dependent upon the child voiding and being compliant.
Nuclear renography (static)
Radionuclide scanning with

TC dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) can detect an area of acute renal

inflammation and chronic scarring. It is the gold standard in the detection of renal scarring, and studies have shown a specificity and sensitivity for renal scarring up to 100% and 80%, respectively.11 When combining DMSA with high- resolution computed tomography (single- photon emission computed tomography), a much better resolution, scar detection, and level of renal anatomic detail is possible.12 On the other hand, if an assessment of renal parenchymal flow, function, and drainage is acquired,
99m
TC- MAG3 is superior to DMSA.
The patient’s symptoms and findings on the ultrasound scan were suggestive of an overactive bladder (OAB), and therefore lifestyle modifications such as an adequate fluid intake of around 1.5 L a day without any bladder irritants (squash juices) were suggested. In addition, she was commenced on anticholinergic medication in the form of slow- release oxybutynin.
Expert comment OAB
OAB is the most common voiding dysfunction in children, occurring with a peak incidence between the ages of 5 and 7 years. OAB is thought to be caused by a delay in the maturation of inhibitors of non- voluntary detrusor contractions.13 During bladder filling, detrusor contractions not centrally inhibited are recognized by the child as a sense of urgency, thereby prompting voluntary striated sphincter and pelvic floor contractions, and various holding manoeuvres such as leg crossing and attempts at external compression of the urethra.14 Despite the holding manoeuvres, the child still may have leakage, mostly when tired, or at play when the child is distracted. Recurrent isometric contraction of the detrusor against a closed tightened sphincter causes progressive detrusor muscle hypertrophy, which will lead to decreased functional capacity and increased instability, perpetuating the vicious circle of OAB. It has been shown that anticholinergic treatment of OAB in association with a timed voiding regimen and adequate bowel management, significantly decreases the incidence of recurrent UTIs.
15
After an interval of 6 months, the patient was reviewed in the clinic. A repeat bladder function assessment revealed that her post- void residuals had increased sig­nificantly. In addition, she had suffered two lower UTIs with mixed growth cultures, despite prophylactic antibiotics. The repeat ultrasound scan showed a significant in­crease in the bilateral hydronephrosis, the bladder was still thick- walled, but now with trabeculation and diverticula. She still had some ongoing problems with chronic constipation and day- and night- time accidents in between voids, despite regular voiding and practising a double voiding. The oxybutynin was stopped and, based on

the deterioration of the upper urinary tract, the possibility of a neuropathic element was considered.
A magnetic resonance imaging scan of her spine revealed no intraspinal abnor­mality. We then proceeded to cystoscopy, which confirmed an irregular, elongated, and grossly trabeculated bladder (‘fir tree’) (Figure 43.2a). A video urodynamic study showed reduced functional capacity bladder (180 mL) with some impaired compli­ance (a rise of 22 cmH2O for 180 mL infused) (Figure 43.2b). Voiding dynamics re­vealed a dyscoordinated pattern and incomplete bladder emptying (residual of 20 mL). Fluoroscopy did not reveal any vesicourethral reflux, either during filling or voiding.
Learning point Invasive urodynamic investigations
If a suprapubic tube is inserted, a minimal delay of half a day is needed between tube placement and urodynamic testing. If a transurethral catheter is used, it must be as small as possible, since a large catheter can cause outflow obstruction.
The filling rate should be as physiological as possible, and the following can be used to calculate the filling rate: body weight (kg) divided by 4 and expressed in millilitres per minute16 or as described by Hjälmås, as 5% of expected bladder capacity (mL) expressed in millilitres per minute.
Bladder sensation can be challenging to assess in children. When filling exceeds expected bladder capacity, and no sensation is reported, it can indicate reduced bladder sensation.
In infants and children, any involuntary detrusor contractions observed before voiding can be considered pathological and are defined by an increase in detrusor pressure >15 cmH2O above baseline.
Bladder compliance is the relationship between change in bladder volume and change in detrusor pressure:
ΔDetrusor pressure (cmH2O)
Understanding bladder compliance is complicated in paediatric practice, as it tends to increase by age and the detrusor pressure can be affected by the rate of bladder filling. Furthermore, there are, at the moment, no reliable reference ranges available for bladder compliance in children. For this reason, a rule of thumb is that a detrusor pressure of 10 cmH2O above baseline at expected bladder capacity for age is acceptable.17 The clinical relevance of the pressure– flow relationship during voiding is unclear, as high pressures and interrupted flow are observed during voiding in children with normal lower urinary tracts. disorders, characterized by a detrusor contraction concurrent with an involuntary contraction of the urethra and/ or periurethral striated muscle leading to urinary flow interrupted during voiding.

Expert comment Non- neurogenic neurogenic bladder
https://t.me/med1917
The term non- neurogenic neurogenic bladder (NNNB) or subclinical neurogenic bladder and later Hinman syndrome, is presumably an acquired form of bladder sphincter dysfunction in children occurring after the age of toilet training. with day- and- night wetting and incomplete bladder emptying; (2) trabeculated bladder; (3) recurrent UTIs; (4) deterioration of the urinary tract with hydroureteronephrosis; (5) constipation and faecal soiling; (6) significant behavioural issues with frequent anxiety, depression, and familial integration disturbances; and (7) normal neurological physical examination and investigations.
The condition has all the clinical and urodynamic features typical of neuropathic bladder dysfunction, but no neurological pathology can be demonstrated on imaging, and it may be conceivable that the underlying neurological cause remains to be identified. In its severe form, the bladder sphincter dysfunction can cause full- blown bladder decompensation with day/ night- time wetting, large postmicturition residual urine volumes, recurrent UTIs, and significant damage to the upper urinary tracts.
NNNB is believed to be an acquired pathology, but evidence of prenatal presentations has also been

reported. presenting early in childhood to those presenting at adolescence, and from children responding to limited detrusor sphincter physiotherapy and bowel management to severe NNNB which requires bladder augmentation and kidney transplant.
It is therefore likely that NNNB covers a wide range of disease, ranging from patients

Clean intermittent catheterization was attempted on several occasions, but the pa­tient was very resistant and fearful. Therefore, a suprapubic tube (10- French Cystofix®) was placed temporarily, with clamp and release every 3 hours during the daytime and overnight free drainage. Following placement of the suprapubic tube, complete resolution of upper urinary tract dilatation and episodes of UTIs was observed. Subsequently, the suprapubic tube was replaced under general anaesthesia with a 10­French Foley catheter, which is changed every 10– 12 weeks.
An up- to- date DMSA scan showed a functionally slight smaller right kidney (47%), but no definite focal defects were identified.
423Case 43 Recurrent urinary tract infections in children
A final word from the expert
UTIs and incontinence are common problems referred to a paediatric urologist. In the majority of cases, the problem can be remedied with simple dietary modifications and/ or anticholinergic medication. This case illustrates, however, that some children are at risk of progressing to more serious and irreversible upper and lower urinary tract pathology. This patient demonstrated concerning features at presentation of mild hydronephrosis and bladder wall thickening, which rapidly deteriorated over a short interval of 6 months to a classical Hinman syndrome. There is probably very little which could have been done to prevent this deterioration, and it is likely that on the basis of the current findings that the patient in the long- term, will need an augmentation cystoplasty with or without a continent cutaneous catheterizable channel.
