<h4>Background</h4>People who have chronic kidney disease (CKD) have important changes to bone structure, strength, and metabolism. Children experience bone deformity, pain, and delayed or impaired growth. Adults experience limb and vertebral fractures, avascular necrosis, and pain. The fracture risk after kidney transplantation is four times that of the general population and is related to Chronic Kidney Disease-Mineral and Bone Disorder (CKD-MBD) occurring with end-stage kidney failure, steroi ...[more]

Project description:After kidney transplantation, mineral and bone disorders are associated with higher risk of fractures and consequent morbidity and mortality. Disorders of calcium and phosphorus, vitamin D deficiency, and hyperparathyroidism are also common. The epidemiology of bone disease has evolved over the past several decades due to changes in immunosuppressive regimens, mainly glucocorticoid minimization or avoidance. The assessment of bone disease in kidney transplant recipients relies on risk factor recognition and bone mineral density assessment. Several drugs have been trialed for the treatment of post-transplant mineral and bone disorders. This review will focus on the epidemiology, effect, and treatment of metabolic and skeletal derangements in the transplant recipient.

Project description:Purpose of reviewTo summarize the research on effective interventions for preserving cognitive function and prevent cognitive decline in patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) who are undergoing dialysis and/or kidney transplantation (KT).Recent findingsAmong ESKD patients undergoing hemodialysis, exercise training has been administered through home-based and intradialytic interventions. Additionally, one pilot study identified intradialytic cognitive training, electronic brain games, as an intervention to preserve cognitive function among patients undergoing hemodialysis. Fewer studies have investigated interventions to preserver cognitive function among KT recipients. To date, the only randomized controlled trial in this population identified B-vitamin supplements as an intervention to preserve cognitive function. The evidence from these trials support a short-term benefit of cognitive and exercise training as well as B-vitamin supplementation among patients with ESKD. Future studies should: 1) replicate these findings, 2) identify interventions specific to KT candidates, and 3) investigate the synergistic impact of both cognitive and exercise training.SummaryCognitive prehabilitation, with cognitive and/or exercise training, may be novel interventions for KT candidates that not only reduces delirium risk and long-term post-KT cognitive decline but also prevents dementia.

Project description:Integration of non-vascularized bone grafting and bone marrow aspirate infusion in transplantation may provide clinical benefit. Here we have incorporated bone fragment co-transplantation and bone marrow aspirate infusion (BF-BM) into living kidney transplantation (LKT). Twenty LKT recipients receiving bone fragments and bone marrow aspirates donated from their corresponding donors were enrolled into a retrospective study. A contemporaneous control group was formed of 38 out of 128 conventional LKT recipients, selected using propensity score matching by a 1:2 Greedy algorithm. Ultrasonography, contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (US/CEUS) and SPECT/CT showed that the co-transplanted bone fragments remained viable for 6 months, subsequently shrank, and finally degenerated 10 months post-transplantation. BF-BM resulted in earlier kidney recovery and more robust long-term kidney function. Throughout 5 years of follow-up, BF-BM had regulatory effects on dendritic cells (DCs), T helper (Th1/Th2) cells and regulatory T cells (Tregs). Both alloantigen-specific lymphocyte proliferation and panel reactive antibody levels were negative in all recipients with or without BF-BM. In addition, the BF-BM group experienced few complications during the 5-year follow-up (as did the donors)-this was not different from the controls. In conclusion, BF-BM is safe and benefits recipients by protecting the kidney and regulating the immune response.

Project description:BackgroundPrevious studies identified B cell gene signatures and predominance of specific B cell subsets as a marker of operational tolerance after kidney transplantation. These findings suggested a role for B cells in the establishment or maintenance of tolerance. Here we analyzed B cell recovery in 4 subjects, 3 of whom achieved tolerance after combined kidney/bone marrow transplantation.MethodsPeripheral B cell subsets were examined longitudinally by flow cytometry. Immunoglobulin heavy chain repertoire analysis was performed using next-generation sequencing. Lastly, the patients' serum reactivity to HLA was assessed by Luminex.ResultsB cell counts recovered approximately 1 year posttransplant except for 1 subject who experienced delayed reconstitution. This subject resumed immunosuppression for acute rejection at 10 months posttransplant and underwent preemptive retransplantation at 3 years for chronic rejection. B cell recovery was accompanied by a high frequency of CD20 + CD24CD38 transitional B cells and a diversified clonal repertoire. However, all 4 subjects showed prevalence of CD20 + CD27+ memory B cells around 6 months posttransplant when B cell counts were still low and the clonal B cell repertoire very limited. The predominance of memory B cells was also associated with high levels of somatically mutated immunoglobulin heavy chain variable sequences and transient serum reactivity to HLA.ConclusionsOur observations reveal the presence of memory B cells early posttransplant that likely escaped the preparative regimen at a time consistent with the establishment of tolerance. Further studies are warranted to characterize the functional properties of these persisting memory cells and evaluate their potential contribution to tolerance induction.

Project description:T-lymphocyte activation may contribute to atherosclerosis, the prevalence of which is increased in transplant patients. However, the cardiovascular consequences of polyclonal antithymocyte globulin (ATG)-induced immune modifications, which include alterations in T-cell subsets, are unknown. We conducted a retrospective single-center study to assess whether ATG associates with an increased incidence of atherosclerotic events (CVEs) in kidney transplant patients. Propensity score analysis was performed to address potential confounding by indication. We also tested whether ATG use induces a proatherogenic immune status. Sixty-nine (12.2%) CVEs occurred during follow-up (87±31 months). The cumulative incidence of CVEs was higher in ATG-treated patients (14.7% versus 8.2%; P=0.03). Cox regression analysis revealed that ATG use was an independent risk factor for CVEs (hazard ratio [HR], 2.36; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 1.35 to 4.13; P=0.003). Results obtained in the propensity score match analysis recapitulated those obtained from the overall cohort (HR, 2.09; 95% CI, 1.11 to 3.98; P=0.02). Late-stage differentiated CD8(+) T cells increased 1 year after transplantation only in ATG-treated patients. More generally, ATG associated with features of immune activation. These modifications increased markedly in patients exposed to cytomegalovirus (CMV). Subanalyses suggest that the effect of ATG on CVEs is restricted to CMV-exposed patients. However, CMV infection associated significantly with CVEs only in ATG-treated patients (HR, 2.07; 95% CI, 1.16 to 3.70; P=0.01). In conclusion, ATG associated with both immune activation and post-transplant CVEs in this cohort. Further studies should precisely determine whether ATG-induced immune activation is the causal link between ATG and CVEs.

Project description:Costimulation between T cells and antigen-presenting cells is essential for the regulation of an effective alloimmune response and is not targeted with the conventional immunosuppressive therapy after kidney transplantation. Costimulation blockade therapy with biologicals allows precise targeting of the immune response but without non-immune adverse events. Multiple costimulation blockade approaches have been developed that inhibit the alloimmune response in kidney transplant recipients with varying degrees of success. Belatacept, an immunosuppressive drug that selectively targets the CD28-CD80/CD86 pathway, is the only costimulation blockade therapy that is currently approved for kidney transplant recipients. In the last decade, belatacept therapy has been shown to be a promising therapy in subgroups of kidney transplant recipients; however, the widespread use of belatacept has been tempered by an increased risk of acute kidney transplant rejection. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the costimulation blockade therapies that are currently in use or being developed for kidney transplant indications.
