Abstract
Background: The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of sex on the clinical outcomes of spousal donor kidney transplantation.
Methods: We analyzed 456 spousal donor kidney transplantation recipients and categorized them into standard or high immunological risk groups according to panel-reactive antibody ≥50% or less. There were 366 recipients in the standard-risk group and 89 recipients in the high-risk group.
Results: When comparing biopsy-proven allograft rejection within 1 year from kidney transplantation, husband-to-wife recipients showed significantly higher incidence than wife-to-husband recipients in the high-risk group. By contrast, there was no significant difference between wife-to-husband and husband-to-wife recipients in the standard-risk group. Allograft function recovery was better in husband-to-wife recipients than in wife-to-husband recipients in each group, while husband-to-wife recipients in the high-risk group showed a more rapid decline than other recipients. The long-term patient and allograft survival rates showed no difference between husband-to-wife recipients and wife-to-husband recipients within the same groups.
Conclusion: The husband-to-wife recipients with high immunological risk showed a higher risk of biopsy-proven allograft rejection compared to wife-to-husband recipients, so careful monitoring and management may be required.
期刊介绍:
Kidney Research and Clinical Practice (formerly The Korean Journal of Nephrology; ISSN 1975-9460, launched in 1982), the official journal of the Korean Society of Nephrology, is an international, peer-reviewed journal published in English. Its ISO abbreviation is Kidney Res Clin Pract. To provide an efficient venue for dissemination of knowledge and discussion of topics related to basic renal science and clinical practice, the journal offers open access (free submission and free access) and considers articles on all aspects of clinical nephrology and hypertension as well as related molecular genetics, anatomy, pathology, physiology, pharmacology, and immunology. In particular, the journal focuses on translational renal research that helps bridging laboratory discovery with the diagnosis and treatment of human kidney disease. Topics covered include basic science with possible clinical applicability and papers on the pathophysiological basis of disease processes of the kidney. Original researches from areas of intervention nephrology or dialysis access are also welcomed. Major article types considered for publication include original research and reviews on current topics of interest. Accepted manuscripts are granted free online open-access immediately after publication, which permits its users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of its articles to facilitate access to a broad readership. Circulation number of print copies is 1,600.
