Urinary tract infections are common after kidney transplantation. Recurrent cystitis is repeated inflammation in the bladder usually caused by infection. Recurrent cystitis can result in kidney graft dysfunction, lower quality of life, and complex management. Despite this, little is known about the disease process. This study is gathering information through urine samples regarding recurrent cystitis to add to scientific knowledge.
