Patients with an augmented or diverted urinary system are considered higher risk recipients in view of increased technical problems and infective complications. We studied the long-term renal graft function and survival in patients with a pretransplant ileal conduit or ileal/caecocystoplasty. Between 1986 and 1997, 14 of 1253 (1.1%) renal transplant recipients had their transplant ureters anastomosed into an abnormal urinary tract. These consisted of ten ileal conduits and four ileal/caecocystoplasties. Median follow up was 42 months (range 1-156). All ten ileal conduits were discharged with a functioning graft. There was one graft loss chronic rejection and one cardiac death. The median creatinine level was 130 mmol/l and 50% have a urinary infection. All the patients with an ileal/caecocystoplasty were discharged with a functioning graft and these are still functioning; median creatinine of 132 mmol/l and 75% have a urinary infection. One- and 3-year graft survival was 93% and 86%. We conclude that the long-term outcome of renal transplantation in carefully assessed patients with an abnormal urinary tract is satisfactory despite a high incidence of urinary infection.
