Look for other cause: Kidney transplant patients are at increased risk of urinary tract infection, but should usually respond to treatment, not having persistent infection for many months. If you take the antibiotic regularly (not skipping doses), it may be time to look for causes like bacterial resistance to the drug, possible forgotten stent (plastic tube), stones or other problems. May need cystoscopy by urologist.
