Women who receive a kidney transplant may find that symptoms of incontinence accompany the return of the ability to form urine.
This finding was reported here at the 23rd annual meeting of the American Urogynecologic Society (AUGS). Prior history of urinary incontinence did not predict the condition after transplant, the study of 123 women found.
One hundred of the women responded to questionnaires, which documented incidence of stress, urge, and mixed incontinence of 32.1, 25 and 42.9 percent respectively. Dr. Michael Heit of the University of Louisville, Kentucky, United States, said that the impact of incontinence on activities of daily living, in these transplant recipients, is less than what he sees in his own practice.
Dr. Heit noted that the transplant recipients who were reporting incontinence tended to drink more than a litre of fluid a day. He added that the FDA recommended intake of six to eight glasses of liquid a day is meant to include what is found in the foods we consume–a caveat usually missed by doctors and their patients.
