Abstract:
Tuberculosis remains one of the most lethal infectious diseases, posing a significant threat to global public health. Kidney transplant recipients have a higher incidence of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) than the general population, which adversely affects transplant outcomes. Early screening and prophylactic treatment are essential in reducing the risk of LTBI reactivation. This review summarizes recent advances in the epidemiology, screening and diagnostic methods, and preventive strategies for LTBI in kidney transplant recipients, providing valuable insights and references for its prevention and management in this high-risk population.
