Abstract
Background
Chronic immunosuppression following pancreas transplantation carries significant risk, including posttransplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD). We sought to define the incidence, risk factors, and long-term outcomes of PTLD following pancreas transplantation at a single center.
Methods
All adult pancreas transplants between February 1, 1983 and December 31, 2023 at the University of Minnesota were reviewed, including pancreas transplant alone (PTA), simultaneous pancreas–kidney transplants (SPK), and pancreas after kidney transplants (PAK).
Results
Among 2353 transplants, 110 cases of PTLD were identified, with an overall incidence of 4.8%. 17.3% were diagnosed within 1 year of transplant, 32.7% were diagnosed within 5 years, and 74 (67.3%) were diagnosed after 5 years. The overall 30-year incidence of PTLD did not differ by transplant type—7.4% for PTA, 14.2% for SPK, and 19.4% for PAK (p = 0.3). In multivariable analyses, older age and Epstein-Barr virus seronegativity were risk factors for PTLD, and PTLD was a risk factor for patient death. PTLD-specific mortality was 32.7%, although recipients with PTLD had similar median posttransplant survival compared to those without PTLD (14.9 year vs. 15.6 year, p = 0.9).
Conclusions
PTLD following pancreas transplantation is associated with significant mortality. Although the incidence of PTLD has decreased over time, a high index of suspicion for PTLD following PTx should remain in EBV-negative recipients.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Transplantation: The Journal of Clinical and Translational Research aims to serve as a channel of rapid communication for all those involved in the care of patients who require, or have had, organ or tissue transplants, including: kidney, intestine, liver, pancreas, islets, heart, heart valves, lung, bone marrow, cornea, skin, bone, and cartilage, viable or stored.
Published monthly, Clinical Transplantation’s scope is focused on the complete spectrum of present transplant therapies, as well as also those that are experimental or may become possible in future. Topics include:
Immunology and immunosuppression;
Patient preparation;
Social, ethical, and psychological issues;
Complications, short- and long-term results;
Artificial organs;
Donation and preservation of organ and tissue;
Translational studies;
Advances in tissue typing;
Updates on transplant pathology;.
Clinical and translational studies are particularly welcome, as well as focused reviews. Full-length papers and short communications are invited. Clinical reviews are encouraged, as well as seminal papers in basic science which might lead to immediate clinical application. Prominence is regularly given to the results of cooperative surveys conducted by the organ and tissue transplant registries.
Clinical Transplantation: The Journal of Clinical and Translational Research is essential reading for clinicians and researchers in the diverse field of transplantation: surgeons; clinical immunologists; cryobiologists; hematologists; gastroenterologists; hepatologists; pulmonologists; nephrologists; cardiologists; and endocrinologists. It will also be of interest to sociologists, psychologists, research workers, and to all health professionals whose combined efforts will improve the prognosis of transplant recipients.
