Renal Outcomes After Lung or Combined Heart-Lung Transplantation in Pulmonary Hypertension.

ABSTRACT: Renal impairment is considered a contra-indication for lung (LTX) or combined heart-lung (HLTX) transplantation due to increased mortality. We hypothesized that renal impairment in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is the result of reduced cardiac output and should be partly reversible after LTX. We performed a retrospective analysis in 67 consecutive PAH and CTEPH patients who underwent (H)LTX, to investigate the postoperative evolution of renal function in function of baseline renal function using a mixed model effect test. Furthermore, we assessed potential predictors for postoperative renal dysfunction, renal replacement therapy (RRT) and mortality by multivariate analyses. Median baseline eGFR was 74 mL/min/1.73m².
