Primary graft dysfunction grade correlates with acute kidney injury stage after lung transplantation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Primary graft dysfunction (PGD) and acute kidney injury (AKI) are major early complications of lung transplantation and are associated with increased mortality. Lung injury after PGD can contribute to renal dysfunction; however, the association between PGD and AKI severity has not been thoroughly investigated. We analyzed the association between PGD grading and AKI staging, and the impact of AKI on subsequent changes to chronic kidney disease (CKD), including glomerular filtration rate (GFR), over time.

Methods

This was a retrospective review of a single-center lung transplantation database between January 2018 and June 2022. AKI and GFR categories were classified according to the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes criteria. Spearman's and Kaplan-Meier tests were used to compare disease severity and assess survival.

Results

In a total of 206 patients: 119 (57.8%), 25 (12.1%), 34 (16.5%), and 28 (13.6%) had PGD grades 0, 1, 2, and 3, respectively; 96 (46.6%), 47 (22.8%), 27 (13.1%), and 36 (17.5%) had AKI stages 0, 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Twenty-one of the 28 patients (75.0%) with PGD grade 3 had AKI stage 3. There was a significant correlation between PGD grade and AKI stage (P<0.001). There was also a significant correlation between AKI stage and GFR category of CKD at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after lung transplantation (all P<0.001). For all AKI stages, GFR categories worsened with postoperative time.

Conclusions

PGD grade was significantly correlated with AKI stage, and AKI stage was correlated with GFR categories of CKD.

Project description:BACKGROUNDThe complement system plays a key role in host defense but is activated by ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI). Primary graft dysfunction (PGD) is a form of acute lung injury occurring predominantly due to IRI, which worsens survival after lung transplantation (LTx). Local complement activation is associated with acute lung injury, but whether it is more reflective of allograft injury compared with systemic activation remains unclear. We proposed that local complement activation would help identify those who develop PGD after LTx. We also aimed to identify which complement activation pathways are associated with PGD.METHODSWe performed a multicenter cohort study at the University of Pennsylvania and Washington University School of Medicine. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and plasma specimens were obtained from recipients within 24 hours after LTx. PGD was scored based on the consensus definition. Complement activation products and components of each arm of the complement cascade were measured using ELISA.RESULTSIn both cohorts, sC4d and sC5b-9 levels were increased in BAL of subjects with PGD compared with those without PGD. Subjects with PGD also had higher C1q, C2, C4, and C4b, compared with subjects without PGD, suggesting classical and lectin pathway involvement. Ba levels were higher in subjects with PGD, suggesting alternative pathway activation. Among lectin pathway-specific components, MBL and FCN-3 had a moderate-to-strong correlation with the terminal complement complex in the BAL but not in the plasma.CONCLUSIONComplement activation fragments are detected in the BAL within 24 hours after LTx. Components of all 3 pathways are locally increased in subjects with PGD. Our findings create a precedent for investigating complement-targeted therapeutics to mitigate PGD.FUNDINGThis research was supported by the NIH, American Lung Association, Children's Discovery Institute, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Barnes-Jewish Hospital Foundation, Danish Heart Foundation, Danish Research Foundation of Independent Research, Svend Andersen Research Foundation, and Novo Nordisk Research Foundation.
