Renal transplant and hemostasis: early postoperative changes in recipients and donors.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The benefit of administering pharmacologic thromboprophylaxis following renal transplantation remains uncertain.

Objectives

To compare hemostatic parameters before and after renal transplant surgery in both recipients and their donors at predetermined time points.

Methods

Blood samples were collected at baseline (T1), immediately after surgery (T2), and at 24 hours after surgery (T3) in both recipients and donors and at 72 (T4) and 120 hours (T5) from recipients only. Assays included in vitro thrombin generation, factor VIII (FVIIIc) activity, von Willebrand factor (VWF) antigen, D-dimer, antithrombin activity, prothrombin fragment 1 + 2 (F1 + 2), thrombin-antithrombin complexes, and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) antigen.

Results

Fifty-two patients (28 recipients and 24 donors) were enrolled. Both donors and recipients had increased FVIIIc, VWF, F1 + 2, D-dimer, and PAI immediately after surgery but reduced antithrombin. Mixed-model analysis showed that the magnitude of change over time (between T1 and T3) for FVIIIc (mean estimated difference [MED], 72; 95% CI, 41-102; P < .0001), VWF (MED, 89; 95% CI, 35-142; P = .001), F1 + 2 (MED, 283; 95% CI, 144-422; P < .0001), thrombin-antithrombin complexes (MED, 3.5; 95% CI, 1.9-5.1; P < .0001), D-dimer (MED, 2.2; 95% CI, 1.0-3.3; P < .0001), PAI-1 (MED, 9.2; 95% CI, 3.4-14.9; P = .002), and time to peak thrombin generation (MED, 1.5; 95% CI, 0.35-2.7; P = .01) was more significant in recipients than in donors.

Conclusion

Persistence of a hypercoagulable state was more prominent in recipients after 24 hours despite recovery in renal function and initiation of thromboprophylaxis.

Project description:Background:To explore the impact of the use of vasoactive drugs in donation after cardiac death (DCD) donors on graft function, with an attempt to guide the clinical practices of organ preservation and DCD kidney transplantation. Methods:The clinical data of 187 DCD donors and 304 recipients who were operated on in our center from February 2018 to May 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Based on whether vasoactive drugs were used for maintaining blood pressure in DCD donors, the renal donors and recipients were divided into a high-dose group (norepinephrine ?1.3 µg/kg/min or in combination with dopamine), a low-dose group (norepinephrine <1.3 µg/kg/min or in conjunction with dopamine), and a no-medication group (without the use of vasoactive drugs). The clinical features, post-transplant renal function, and complications were compared among these three groups. Results:The early renal function 1 and 7 days after surgery was significantly superior in the high-dose group and no-medication group (P<0.05) but showed no significant difference between the low-dose group and the no-medication group (P>0.05). Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) on the 1st postoperative days was significantly higher in the high-dose group than in the low-dose group and the no-medication group (P<0.05). Renal function indicators, including serum creatinine (CRE), BUN, and blood uric acid (UA) on the 30th postoperative day, showed no significant difference among these three groups (P>0.05). The incidence of delayed graft function (DGF) after renal transplantation was significantly higher in the high-dose group than in the low-dose group and the no-medication group (P<0.05), whereas there was no significant difference between the groups in the incidences of graft rejection and infections (P>0.05). Conclusions:The use of vasoactive drugs in DCD donors can affect the early recovery of renal function in renal transplant recipients, particularly for those donors who are administered a high dose of vasoactive drugs. Therefore, donor maintenance should be performed cautiously with vasoactive drugs.

Project description:Background and Objectives: Kidney transplant recipients represent a unique population with metabolic abnormalities, altered nutritional and immune status, as well as an imbalanced regulation of adipocytokine metabolism. Leptin is a hormonally active protein mainly produced by fat tissue that modulates appetite, satiety, and influences growth, energy, and bone metabolism. There has been great interest in the role of this hormone in chronic kidney disease-related protein energy wasting; thus, a positive leptin correlation with body mass index and fat mass was confirmed. This study was designed to determine the association of pre and post-kidney transplant leptin concentration with nutritional status and body composition. Materials and Methods: We studied 65 kidney transplant recipients. Nutritional status was evaluated before kidney transplantation and 6 months later using three different malnutrition screening tools (Subjective Global Assessment Scale (SGA), Malnutrition Inflammation Score (MIS), and Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI)), anthropometric measurements, and body composition (bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA)). Demographic profile, serum leptin levels, and other biochemical nutritional markers were collected. Statistical analysis was performed with R software. Results: Median age of the studied patients was 45 years, 42% were females, and 12% had diabetes. Leptin change was associated with body weight (p < 0.001), waist circumference (p < 0.001), fat mass (p < 0.001) and body fat percentage (p < 0.001), decrease in parathyroid hormone (PTH) (p < 0.001) transferrin (p < 0.001), diabetes mellitus (p = 0.010), and residual renal function (p = 0.039), but not dependent on dialysis vintage, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), or delayed graft function at any time during the study. After adjustment for age and sex, body mass index (BMI) (p < 0.001), fat mass (p < 0.001), and body fat percentage (p < 0.001) were independent variables significantly associated with post-transplant leptin change. Lower leptin values were found both before and after kidney transplantation in the SGA B group. GNRI as a nutritional status tool was strongly positively related to changes in leptin within the 6-month follow-up period. Conclusions: Kidney transplant recipients experience change in leptin concentration mainly due to an increase in fat mass and loss of muscle mass. GNRI score as compared to SGA or MIS score identifies patients in whom leptin concentration is increasing alongside an accumulation of fat and decreasing muscle mass. Leptin concentration evaluation in combination with BIA, handgrip strength measurement, and GNRI assessment are tools of importance in defining nutrition status in the early post-kidney transplant period.
