Risk factors of renal replacement therapy after heart transplantation: a retrospective single-center study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Acute kidney injury (AKI) and renal replacement therapy (RRT) are common after heart transplantation (HT). The need for RRT has been reported to be one of the most important predictors of a poor prognosis after HT. Therefore, it is important to early identify risk factors of RRT after HT. However, in the heart transplantation setting, the risk factors are less well studied, and some of the conclusions are controversial. This study aimed to identify the clinical predictors of RRT after HT.

Methods

This single-center, retrospective study from January 2010 to June 2021 analyzed risk factors (pre-, intra-, and postoperative characteristics) of 163 patients who underwent HT. The endpoint of the study was RRT within 7 days of HT. Risk factors were analyzed by multivariable logistic regression models.

Results

Fifty-five (33.74%) recipients required RRT within 7 days of HT. Factors independently associated with RRT after HT were as follows: a baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 mL/min per 1.73 m² [odds ratio (OR) =3.123; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.183-8.244; P=0.022], a dose of intraoperative methylprednisolone >10 mg/kg (OR =3.197; 95% CI: 1.290-7.923; P=0.012), the use of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) during surgery (OR =4.903; 95% CI: 1.628-14.766; P=0.005), a cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time ≥5 hours (OR =3.929; 95% CI: 1.222-12.634; P=0.022), and postoperative serum total bilirubin (TBIL) ≥60 umol/L (OR =5.105; 95% CI: 1.868-13.952; P=0.001). Protective factors were higher postoperative serum albumin (OR =0.907; 95% CI: 0.837-0.983; P=0.017) and higher postoperative left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (OR =0.908; 95% CI: 0.838-0.985; P=0.020).

Conclusions

A low preoperative eGFR, a high intraoperative dose of methylprednisolone, a long CPB time, the use of mechanical circulatory support, and a high postoperative TBIL were risk factors for RRT after HT. While a high postoperative serum albumin level and a high left ventricular ejection fraction were protective factors. Understanding these risk factors may help us identify high-risk patients and intervene early.

Project description:New-onset systolic heart failure (HF) after liver transplantation (LT) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality; however, its characteristics are still insufficiently delineated. HF may involve the left ventricle (LV), right ventricle (RV), or both ventricles. We explored the incidence, characteristics, etiologies, risks, involved cardiac chambers, and outcomes of HF after LT.MethodsThis study included 528 adult patients with preoperative LV ejection fraction ≥ 55% who underwent LT between 2016 and 2020. The primary outcome was new-onset systolic HF, defined by the presence of clinical signs, symptoms, and echocardiographic evidence of reduced LVejection fraction <50% and RV dysfunction within the first year after LT.ResultsThirty-one patients (6%) developed systolic HF within a median of 9 d (1-364). Of those, 23% of patients had ischemic HF, whereas 77% had nonischemic HF. Nonischemic HF was caused by stress (11), sepsis (8), or other factors (5). Nonischemic HF was secondary to isolated LV failure in 58% of patients or RV ± LV failure in 42% of patients. Recursive partitioning identified subgroups with varying risks and uncovered interaction between variables. HF risk increased from 4.2% to 13% when epinephrine and/or norepinephrine drips were used intraoperatively (P < 0.01). When no epinephrine and/or norepinephrine were used, HF risk increased from 3.1% to 38.5% if baseline hemoglobin was <7.2 g/dL (P < 0.01). When baseline hemoglobin was ≥7.2 g/dL, HF risk increased from 0% to 5.2% when ≥3500 mL crystalloid was used intraoperatively (P < 0.01). Posttransplant first-year survival and reversibility of HF depended on the etiology (stress, sepsis, ischemia, etc) and cardiac chamber involvement (isolated LV or RV ± LV). RV dysfunction was associated with inferior recovery of cardiac function and poorer survival than nonischemic isolated LV dysfunction (50% versus 70%, respectively).ConclusionsPosttransplant new-onset HF is mostly nonischemic in nature and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality.

Project description:BackgroundStanford type A aortic dissection (TAAD) has a sudden onset and high mortality, and emergency total aortic arch replacement (TAAR) is the main treatment option for TAAD. The mortality rate of patients with postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) combined with continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is remarkable higher than that of patients without AKI. However, incidence of AKI and risk factors for CRRT following TAAR isn't entirely understood.MethodsFrom October 2018 to March 2021, all patients with Stanford type A dissection who underwent total arch replacement surgery under MHCA were enrolled. According to whether CRRT treatment was performed, participants were divided into a CRRT group (n=49) and control group (n=72). Both groups incorporated the brain protection strategy of moderate hypothermia, and the left common carotid artery and the innominate artery were perfused anteriorly. Relevant medical data was collected.ResultsAge, gender, and a history of smoking and drinking were not significantly different between the 2 groups (P>0.1). There were statistical differences between the 2 groups in aortic sinus diameter and Bentall procedure (P≤0.05). Univariate analysis revealed that fresh frozen plasma was a protective factor (P<0.05) and the intraoperative transfusion volume of red blood cells, platelets, fresh frozen plasma, autologous blood used for intraoperative bleeding, aortic sinus diameter, and Bentall procedure were risk factors (P<0.1). Multivariate analysis showed that the Bentall procedure and intraoperative bleeding were risk factors for CRRT (P<0.05), and the aortic sinus diameter and intraoperative transfusion score were also risk factors for CRRT (P<0.05). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis demonstrated that the model of aortic sinus diameter and intraoperative transfusion score had more significantly different discriminatory powers.ConclusionsThe Bentall procedure, intraoperative bleeding, aortic sinus diameter, and intraoperative transfusion score were risk factors for postoperative CRRT. The model of aortic sinus diameter and intraoperative transfusion score had more significantly different discriminatory powers.
