Prophylactic ureteric stenting in renal transplant recipients prevents major surgical complications such as ureteric leak and obstruction on the one hand while, on the other hand, it is associated with complications like @entity293 ( @entity293 ), @entity811 , stent migration, stent encrustation and forgotten stents. @entity293 is documented to be most common complication associated with double J (DJ) stent. In this retrospective observational study involving 157 @entity1 , we compared the frequency of occurrence of @entity293 in DJ-stented versus non-stented renal transplant recipients. The study @entity1 had undergone renal transplantation, with or without DJ-stenting, between January 2007 and June 2012. The mean age of the study subjects was 34.01    14.63 years. The @entity1 were followed-up for one year post-transplantation with regular evaluation, including detailed assessment, complete blood picture, renal function tests, routine urine examination and cultures. Data were collected through chart and electronic record review. Of a total of 157 @entity1 , 61 (38.85%) developed @entity293 , including 30 of 74 stented @entity1 (40.54%) and 31 of 83 non-stented renal transplant recipients (37.34%). Relative risk was calculated to be 1.08. The mean serum @entity1011 at the end of one year was 1.47 mg/dL in DJ-stented @entity1 and 1.36 mg/dL in nonstented @entity1 . Our study suggests that there is no significant difference in the frequency of @entity293 between DJ-stented and non-stented renal transplant recipients.
