Tricuspid Regurgitation and Kidney Transplant Recipient Outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Rationale & objective

Kidney function can be adversely affected by significant tricuspid regurgitation (TR) owing to effects on cardiac output and systemic venous congestion. However, the impact of significant TR on short- and long-term kidney function following a kidney transplant remains uncertain.

Study design

Retrospective observational cohort.

Setting & participants

Kidney transplant recipients from a single center between 2016 and 2019.

Exposure

Significant TR, defined by at least moderate regurgitation, on echocardiogram before kidney transplantation.

Outcomes

Primary end points included the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at the following 3 time points: 2 weeks, 3 months, and 1 year after transplantation. Secondary end points included
