Kidney Transplant Outcomes in Patients With Adenine Phosphoribosyltransferase Deficiency.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (APRT) deficiency is a rare, hereditary cause of kidney stones and chronic kidney disease (CKD) which is characterized by 2,8-dihydroxyadenine renal parenchymal crystal deposition. The aim of this study was to examine outcomes of kidney transplantation in APRT deficiency patients.

Methods

Included were 13 patients in the APRT Deficiency Registry of the Rare Kidney Stone Consortium, 2 from Westmead Hospital in Sydney, Australia, and 2 from Necker Hospital in Paris, France. The CKD-EPI and CKiD equations were used to calculate glomerular filtration rate estimates. Allograft survival was analyzed employing the Kaplan-Meier method. The Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test was used to compare alllograft outcomes according to xanthine oxidoreduct
