Abstract
Background
Renal dysfunction is common among liver transplant candidates and can resolve, persist, or develop de novo following liver transplantation (LT). In light of the 2017 policy changes to simultaneous liver-kidney transplant and the post-LT kidney transplant safety net eligibility, we evaluated risk factors for and change in the incidence of post-LT renal dysfunction.
Methods
Using SRTR data for adult deceased-donor liver-only transplant recipients 2010–2022, we evaluated secular trends in and risk factors for the development of post-LT ESRD at 1 year and overall using multivariable logistic and Cox regression. We compared observed versus expected incidence of ESRD at 1-year post-LT using weighting by odds.
Results
Among 77 565 LT recipients, 6032 (7.8%) developed ESRD during the study period, of whom 2354 (39.0%) developed ESRD within the first year after LT. In a multivariable model, diabetes (aOR 1.63, 95% CI 1.48–1.79, p < 0.001), pre-LT eGFR (aOR 0.97 per unit, 95% CI 0.97–0.97, p < 0.001), and MELD category remained independently associated with ESRD within 1-year post-LT. Odds of ESRD by 1 year post-LT were 47% higher than expected post-2017 after accounting for changes in donor and recipient characteristics.
Conclusions
The rising 1-year post-LT ESRD risk highlights the need to reassess safety net eligibility beyond 1 year and prioritize counseling on risk minimization, including post-transplant diabetes management and potential adjustments to immunosuppression protocols to improve outcomes.
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.
