Title
Asymptomatic bacteriuria in kidney transplant recipients: to treat, or not to treat, that is the question
Abstract
<h2>Abstract</h2><p>In this article we comment on the few interventional studies that have addressed the question of how asymptomatic bacteriuria should be managed in kidney transplant (KT) recipients. The findings from the studies reported to date support recent guidelines arguing against systematic screening and treatment of asymptomatic bacteriuria in KT recipients. However, these studies present significant limitations and should be interpreted with caution.</p>
