Arterial Hypertension as a Risk Factor for Reduced Glomerular Filtration Rate after Living Kidney Donation.

ABSTRACT: Living kidney donation represents the optimal renal replacement therapy, but recent data suggest an increased long-term renal risk for the donor. Here, we evaluated the risk for reduced estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), death, and major cardiovascular events such as nonfatal myocardial infarction or cerebrovascular event including TIA (transient ischemic attack) and stroke in 225 donors, who underwent pre-donation examinations and live donor nephrectomy between 1985 and 2014 at our center. The median follow-up time was 8.7 years (1.0-29.1). In multivariate analysis, age and arterial hypertension at baseline were significantly associated with a higher risk of adverse renal outcomes, such as (1) eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 (age per year: HR (hazard ratio) 1.05, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.03-1.08, hypertension: HR 2.25, 95% CI 1.22-3.98), (2) eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 and a decrease of ?40% from baseline (age: HR 1.08, 95% CI 1.03-1.13, hypertension: HR 4.22, 95% CI 1.72-10.36), and (3) eGFR <45 mL/min/1.73 m2 (age: HR 1.12, 95% CI 1.05-1.20, hypertension: HR 5.06, 95% CI 1.49-17.22). In addition, eGFR at time of donation (per mL/min/1.73 m2) was associated with a lower risk of (1) eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 (HR 0.98, 95% CI 0.97-1.00) and (2) eGFR <45 mL/min/1.73 m2 (HR 0.95, 95% CI 0.90-1.00). Age was the only significant predictor for death or major cardiovascular event (HR 1.08, 95% CI 1.01-1.16). In conclusion, arterial hypertension, lower eGFR, and age at the time of donation are strong predictors for adverse renal outcomes in living kidney donors.

Project description:BackgroundEndogenous molecules that provide an unbiased and a precise evaluation of kidney function are still necessary. We explored the potential of clearance of d-serine, a rare enantiomer of serine and a biomarker of kidney function, as a measure of glomerular filtration rate (GFR).MethodsThis was a cross-sectional observational study of 200 living kidney transplant donors and recipients enrolled between July 2019 and December 2020 in a single Japanese center, for whom GFR was measured by clearance of inulin (C-in). Clearance of d-serine (C-dSer) was calculated based on blood and urine levels of d-serine, as measured by two-dimensional high-performance liquid chromatography. Analytical performance was assessed by calculating biases. Utilizing data from 129 participants, we developed equations for C-in based on C-dSer and C-cre using a linear regression model, and the performance was validated in 68 participants.FindingsThe means of C-in and C-dSer were 66.7 and 55.7 mL/min/1.73 m2 of body surface area, respectively, in the entire cohort. C-dSer underestimated C-in with a proportional bias of 22.0% (95% confidence interval, 14.2-29.8%) and a constant bias of -1.24 (-5.78-3.31), whereas the proportional bias was minor to that of C-cre (34.6% [31.1-38.2%] and 2.47 (-1.18-6.13) for proportional and constant bias, respectively). Combination of C-dSer and C-cre measured C-in with an equation of 0.391 × C-dSer + 0.418 × C-cre + 3.852, which reduced the proportional bias (6.5% [-0.2-13.1%] and -4.30 [-8.87-0.28] for proportional and constant bias, respectively). In the validation dataset, this equation performed well with median absolute residual of 3.5 [2.3-4.8], and high ratio of agreement (ratios of 30% and 15% different from C-in [P30 and P15] of 98.5 [91.4-100] and 89.7 [80.0-95.2], respectively).InterpretationThe smaller proportional bias compared to that of C-cre is an advantage of C-dSer as a measure of C-in. Combinational measurement of d-serine and creatinine, two endogenous molecules, has the potential to serve as a measure of GFR with precision and minor biases and can support important clinical decisions.FundingJapan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS, grant number 17H04188), Japan Agency of Medical Research and Development (AMED, JP20gm5010001), Osaka Kidney Bank (OKF19-0010), Shiseido Co., Ltd and KAGAMI Inc.

Project description:Background and objectivesAnimal studies suggest that microvascular rarefaction is a key factor in the acute kidney disease to CKD transition. Hence, delayed graft function appears as a unique human model of AKI to further explore the role of microvascular rarefaction in kidney transplant recipients. Here, we assessed whether delayed graft function is associated with peritubular capillary loss and evaluated the association between this loss and long-term kidney graft function.Design, setting, participants, & measurementsThis observational, retrospective cohort study included 61 participants who experienced delayed graft function and 130 who had immediate graft function. We used linear regression models to evaluate associations between delayed graft function and peritubular capillary density expressed as the percentage of efficient cortical area occupied by peritubular capillaries in pre- and post-transplant graft biopsies. eGFRs 1 and 3 years post-transplant were secondary outcomes.ResultsPost-transplant biopsies were performed at a median of 113 days (interquartile range, 101-128) after transplantation. Peritubular capillary density went from 15.4% to 11.5% in patients with delayed graft function (median change, -3.7%; interquartile range, -6.6% to -0.8%) and from 19.7% to 15.1% in those with immediate graft function (median change, -4.5%; interquartile range, -8.0% to -0.8%). Although the unadjusted change in peritubular capillary density was similar between patients with and without delayed graft function, delayed graft function was associated with more peritubular capillary loss in the multivariable analysis (adjusted difference in change, -2.9%; 95% confidence interval, -4.0 to -1.8). Pretransplant peritubular capillary density and change in peritubular capillary density were associated with eGFR 1 and 3 years post-transplantation.ConclusionsPerioperative AKI is associated with lower density in peritubular capillaries before transplantation and with loss of peritubular capillaries following transplantation. Lower peritubular capillary density is linked to lower long-term eGFR.
