  ABSTRACT: Purpose: The evaluation of lower urinary tract (LUT) before transplantation is not required, except in patients with a history of LUT disfunction (LUTD). In this study, we adressed the necessity for lower urinary system evaluation in transplantation candidates classified according to their etiology. Materials and Methods: Sixty-two patients were prospectively evaluated. The patients were evaluated at 2 months preoperatively and at 6 months post transplantation using questionnaires, bladder diary and urodynamic studies. The end stage renal disease (ESRD) etiologies of the patients were divided into three groups as follows: patients with a parenchymal disease, patients with LUTD and those with unknown etiology and the obtained results were evaluated accordingly. Results: The evaluation of 50 patients revealed significant differences in ICIQ-SF (p
