Long-term Effects of Gastric Acid Prophylaxis in Kidney Transplant Recipients.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Prophylactic acid suppression with proton pump inhibitors or H2 receptor antagonists is often administered after kidney transplantation. The Association of proton pump inhibitors or H2 receptor antagonists with acute rejection, hypomagnesemia, and graft loss in kidney transplant recipients is not well established.

Material and methods

We performed a retrospective cohort study of 302 kidney transplant recipients at one center (57% male; mean age 35.5±11.2 years) with more than 6 months post-transplant follow-up. Recipients were grouped according to gastric acid prophylaxis: only proton pump inhibitors (n=179), only H2 receptor antagonists (n=42), proton pump inhibitors and H2 receptor antagonists (n=55), and nonusers (n=26). The primary outcome was biopsy-proven acute rejection. Graft loss and hypomagnesemia were defined as secondary outcomes.

Results

Nonusers were younger and mostly under steroid-free immunosuppression compared to other study groups (p=0.030 and p=0.009, respectively). The primary outcome was similar across study groups (p=0.266). Kaplan-Meier analyses also demonstrated similar 10-year graft survival rates: 95.5% for proton pump inhibitors, 97.6% for H2 receptor antagonists, 100% for proton pump inhibitors/H2 receptor antagonists, and 96.2% for nonusers (p=0.275).

Conclusions

The use of proton pump inhibitors is not associated with acute rejection or graft loss but may cause mild hypomagnesemia in kidney transplant recipients.

Project description:BackgroundThe UK kidney offering scheme introduced a kidney donor risk index (UK-KDRI) to improve the utility of deceased-donor kidney allocations. The UK-KDRI was derived using adult donor and recipient data. We assessed this in a paediatric cohort from the UK transplant registry.MethodsWe performed Cox survival analysis on first kidney-only deceased brain-dead transplants in paediatric (<18 years) recipients from 2000-2014. The primary outcome was death-censored allograft survival >30 days post-transplant. The main study variable was UK-KDRI derived from seven donor risk-factors, categorised into four groups (D1-low risk, D2, D3 and D4-highest risk). Follow-up ended on 31-December-2021.Results319/908 patients experienced transplant loss with rejection as the main cause (55%). The majority of paediatric patients received donors from D1 donors (64%). There was an increase in D2-4 donors during the study period, whilst the level of HLA mismatching improved. The KDRI was not associated with allograft failure. In multi-variate analysis, increasing recipient age [adjusted HR and 95%CI: 1.05(1.03-1.08) per-year, p<0.001], recipient minority ethnic group [1.28(1.01-1.63), p<0.05), dialysis before transplant [1.38(1.04-1.81), p<0.005], donor height [0.99 (0.98-1.00) per centimetre, p<0.05] and level of HLA mismatch [Level 3: 1.92(1.19-3.11); Level 4: 2.40(1.26-4.58) versus Level 1, p<0.01] were associated with worse outcomes. Patients with Level 1 and 2 HLA mismatches (0 DR +0/1 B mismatch) had median graft survival >17 years regardless of UK-KDRI groups. Increasing donor age was marginally associated with worse allograft survival [1.01 (1.00-1.01) per year, p=0.05].SummaryAdult donor risk scores were not associated with long-term allograft survival in paediatric patients. The level of HLA mismatch had the most profound effect on survival. Risk models based on adult data alone may not have the same validity for paediatric patients and therefore all age-groups should be included in future risk prediction models.

Project description:IntroductionIn chronic kidney disease, proteinuria increases urinary copper excretion, inducing oxidative tubular damage and worsening kidney function. We investigated whether this phenomenon occurred in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). In addition, we studied the associations of urinary copper excretion with the biomarker of oxidative tubular damage urinary liver-type fatty-acid binding protein (u-LFABP) and death-censored graft failure.MethodsThis prospective cohort study was performed in the Netherlands between 2008 and 2017, including outpatient KTR with a functioning graft for longer than 1 year, who were extensively phenotyped at baseline. Twenty-four-hour urinary copper excretion was measured by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Multivariable linear and Cox regression analyses were performed.ResultsIn 693 KTR (57% men, 53 ± 13 years, estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] 52 ± 20 mL/min/1.73 m2), baseline median urinary copper excretion was 23.6 (interquartile range 11.3-15.9) µg/24 h. Urinary protein excretion was positively associated with urinary copper excretion (standardized β = 0.39, p < 0.001), and urinary copper excretion was positively associated with u-LFABP (standardized β = 0.29, p < 0.001). During a median follow-up of 8 years, 109 (16%) KTR developed graft failure. KTR with relatively high copper excretion were at higher risk of long-term graft failure (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.57, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.32-1.86 per log2, p < 0.001), independent of multiple potential confounders like eGFR, urinary protein excretion, and time after transplantation. A dose-response relationship was observed over increasing tertiles of copper excretion (HR: 5.03, 95% CI: 2.75-9.19, tertile 3 vs. 1, p < 0.001). u-LFABP was a significant mediator of this association (74% of indirect effect, p < 0.001).ConclusionIn KTR, urinary protein excretion is positively correlated with urinary copper excretion. In turn, higher urinary copper excretion is associated with an independent increased risk of kidney graft failure, with a substantial mediating effect through oxidative tubular damage. Further studies are warranted to investigate whether copper excretion-targeted interventions could improve kidney graft survival.
