Kidney transplant recipients are at increased risk for developing invasive fungal infections (IFI). We queried the United States Renal Data System (USRDS) for risk factors for IFI in these patients. ⋯ Risk factors for IFI in renal transplant patients include demographic, medication-associated and clinical data, as well as organism-specific factors. These results offer an extensive clinical profile of risk for IFI, and may thus help inform the diagnosis and presumptive therapy of invasive fungal infections in renal transplant recipients.
