Decreasing the Risk of Early Sub-Therapeutic Tacrolimus Troughs on Short-Term Outcomes in Low-Moderate Risk Kidney Transplant Recipients Receiving Rabbit Anti-Thymocyte Globulin Induction
Introduction
Outcomes are poor in kidney transplant (KTx) recipients with sub-therapeutic tacrolimus troughs. It is unknown if rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin (rATG) induction delays the deleterious impact of early sub-therapeutic tacrolimus troughs. The study aims compared short-term graft outcomes of KTx recipients stratified by tacrolimus troughs at the time of discharge from index admission.
Methods
Single-center retrospective cohort study compared adult KTx recipients with sub-therapeutic versus therapeutic discharge tacrolimus troughs (defined as < vs. ≥ 8 ng/mL). Successful primary/secondary KTx between 10/2017 and 12/2019, who received rATG induction and tacrolimus-based immunosuppression and had an index admission length of stay ≤5 days were included. The primary composite outcome analyzed the 3-month risk of rejection, graft loss, or de novo donor-specific antibodies (dnDSA). Cox regression analysis assessed the association of early sub-therapeutic tacrolimus troughs on short-term graft outcomes.
Results
Among 411 recipients included, 335 (81.5%) were discharged with a tacrolimus trough <8 ng/mL versus 76 (18%) ≥8 ng/mL. Our population consisted of 30% black/non-Hispanic, 10% with a history of previous KTx, 60% deceased donors, and low cPRA (median 0%), which was in the low immunological risk range. No significant difference was identified in the primary outcome (13.4% vs. 9.2%, p = 0.44). Cox regression analysis identified no association between sub-therapeutic tacrolimus troughs at discharge and the primary outcome.
Conclusion
KTx recipients receiving rATG induction, discharged with sub-therapeutic tacrolimus troughs (<8 ng/mL) have comparable short-term graft outcomes versus those discharged with therapeutic troughs (≥8 ng/mL). This suggests that delaying discharge to reach therapeutic troughs is not necessary.
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.
