Correlation of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopic fingerprints of kidney transplant recipient urine with kidney function parameters.

ABSTRACT: Routine monitoring of kidney transplant function is required for the standard care in post-transplantation management, including frequent measurements of serum creatinine with or without kidney biopsy. However, the invasiveness of these methods with potential for clinically significant complications makes them less than ideal. The objective of this study was to develop a non-invasive tool to monitor the kidney transplant function by using Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS). Urine and blood samples were collected from kidney transplant recipients after surgery. Silver nanoparticle-based SERS spectra of the urine were measured and evaluated using partial least squires (PLS) analysis. The SERS spectra were compared with conventional chemical markers of kidney transplant function to assess its predictive ability. A total of 110 kidney transplant recipients were included in this study. PLS results showed significant correlation with urine protein (R²?=?0.4660, p?2?=?0.8106, p?2?=?0.7808, p?2?=?0.7628 (p?2?=?0.6539 (p?

Project description:Rationale & objectiveKidney function can be adversely affected by significant tricuspid regurgitation (TR) owing to effects on cardiac output and systemic venous congestion. However, the impact of significant TR on short- and long-term kidney function following a kidney transplant remains uncertain.Study designRetrospective observational cohort.Setting & participantsKidney transplant recipients from a single center between 2016 and 2019.ExposureSignificant TR, defined by at least moderate regurgitation, on echocardiogram before kidney transplantation.OutcomesPrimary end points included the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at the following 3 time points: 2 weeks, 3 months, and 1 year after transplantation. Secondary end points included major adverse cardiac events including nonfatal myocardial infarction, all-cause mortality, and hospitalization owing to cardiovascular disease.Analytical approachPropensity score matching was performed in 1:3 ratio between patients treated with significant TR and controls, within a caliper 0.05 standard deviation of the propensity score, to analyze for the primary end point.ResultsAmong 557 kidney transplant recipients, 26 (5%) exhibited significant TR pretransplantation. According to propensity score matching analysis, with 1:3 ratio between 24 patients with significant TR and 72 controls, the presence of significant TR was associated with a lower eGFR posttransplantation. Specifically, the mean eGFR was 41.2 mL/min/1.73 m2 compared to 53.3 mL/min/1.73 m2 at 2 weeks (P < 0.01), 50.0 mL/min/1.73 m2 versus 60.3 mL/min/1.73 m2 at 3 months (P < 0.01), and 49.4 mL/min/1.73 m2 versus 61.2 mL/min/1.73 m2 at 1 year (P < 0.01). Delayed graft function was observed in 41.7% of the patients with significant TR compared to 12.5% of those without significant TR (P < 0.01). No patients with significant TR required dialysis after 1 year. 1-year major adverse cardiac events were nonsignificantly higher among patients with significant TR (20.8% vs 8.1%; P = 0.16).LimitationsRetrospective design and relatively small TR population.ConclusionsThe presence of significant TR among kidney transplant recipients was associated with a lower eGFR at 2 weeks, 3 months, and 1 year following transplant, although all remained dialysis independent at 1 year.
