Abstract
Introduction: In renal transplant recipients (RTRs), kidney graft failure and cardiovascular (CV) disease are prevalent and associated with mortality.
Objectives: The objective of the study was to evaluate biomarkers, (cardiac troponin T (cTnT) and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP)), to identify RTRs who are at greater risk of death, CV event, and graft renal survival.
Patients and methods: A total of 342 stable RTRs were enrolled in this study, with a median follow-up time of 54 months. The probability of death, CV event, and renal graft survival were calculated using Kaplan-Meier analysis for the group defined by cTnT and NT-proBNP levels above the cutoff values.
Results: The probability of death for troponin T level above the cut-off was 23% and for NT-proBNP 29%. For CV events the probability for troponin T was 20% and for NT-proBNP it was 21%. Troponin T concentrations above the cutoff point suggested a 25% probability of death-censored graft survival. For NT-proBNP, it was 26%. The probability of overall graft survival was 38% for patients with higher troponin T levels, and 40% for NT proBNP.
Conclusions: These data suggest that cTnT and NT-proBNP could potentially identify patients at high risk for death, CV event, and graft survival.

期刊介绍:
Biomolecules (ISSN 2218-273X) is an international, peer-reviewed open access journal focusing on biogenic substances and their biological functions, structures, interactions with other molecules, and their microenvironment as well as biological systems. Biomolecules publishes reviews, regular research papers and short communications. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced.
