Values of Donor Serum Lipids and Calcium in Predicting Graft Function after Kidney Transplantation: A Retrospective Study. Curr Med Sci 2023:10.1007/s11596-023-2729-2. [PMID: 37115399 DOI: 10.1007/s11596-023-2729-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2022] [Accepted: 10/08/2022] [Indexed: 04/29/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Delayed graft function (DGF) and early graft loss of renal grafts are determined by the quality of the kidneys from the deceased donor. As "non-traditional" risk factors, serum biomarkers of donors, such as lipids and electrolytes, have drawn increasing attention due to their effects on the postoperative outcomes of renal grafts. This study aimed to examine the value of these serum biomarkers for prediction of renal graft function. METHODS The present study consecutively collected 306 patients who underwent their first single kidney transplantation (KT) from adult deceased donors in our center from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2019. The correlation between postoperative outcomes [DGF and abnormal serum creatinine (SCr) after 6 and 12 months] and risk factors of donors, including gender, age, body mass index (BMI), past histories, serum lipid biomarkers [cholesterol, triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and low-density lipoprotein (DL)], and serum electrolytes (calcium and sodium) were analyzed and evaluated. RESULTS (1) Donor age and pre-existing hypertension were significantly correlated with the incidence rate of DGF and high SCr level (≥2 mg/dL) at 6 and 12 months after KT (P<0.05); (2) The donor's BMI was significantly correlated with the incidence rate of DGF after KT (P<0.05); (3) For serum lipids, merely the low level of serum HDL of the donor was correlated with the reduced incidence rate of high SCr level at 12 months after KT [P<0.05, OR (95% CI): 0.425 (0.202-0.97)]; (4) The serum calcium of the donor was associated with the reduced incidence rate of high SCr level at 6 and 12 months after KT [P<0.05, OR (95% CI): 0.184 (0.045-0.747) and P<0.05, OR (95% CI): 0.114 (0.014-0.948), respectively]. CONCLUSION The serum HDL and calcium of the donor may serve as predictive factors for the postoperative outcomes of renal grafts after KT, in addition to the donor's age, BMI and pre-existing hypertension.

Mediterranean Diet Adherence and Nutritional Status in Dalmatian Kidney Transplant Recipients-Are They Related? Nutrients 2021; 13:nu13093246. [PMID: 34579123 PMCID: PMC8471203 DOI: 10.3390/nu13093246] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2021] [Revised: 09/16/2021] [Accepted: 09/16/2021] [Indexed: 01/29/2023] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate adherence to Mediterranean diet (MeDi) and possible correlation of MeDi adherence and nutritional status parameters in Dalmatian kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). One hundred and sixteen KTRs were included in this study. Data about Mediterranean Diet Serving Score (MDSS), body mass composition, anthropometric parameters, clinical and laboratory parameters were collected for each study participant. The results showed 25% adherence to the MeDi in Dalmatian KTRs. MDSS showed association with higher serum albumin and phosphorus level and higher skeletal muscle mass. Also, significant association between diabetic status and MDSS was found. Adherence to olive oil intake suggested by the MeDi showed significant association with lower level of triglycerides and adherence to nuts suggestions was associated with lower level of fat mass. Following MeDi recommendations for consumption of other foods (cereals, potato, eggs, vegetables, fruits and dairy) were also associated with body mass composition parameters and laboratory findings. In conclusion, low adherence to the MeDi in Dalmatian KTRs raises high concerns. The results showed that MeDi can have favorable effects on nutritional status in KTRs. A structured nutritional approach is needed to enhance adherence to the MeDi and prevent possible adverse effects in this patient population.

Abstract
A healthy eating pattern has proven to lower the risk of metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. However, there are sparse dietary recommendations for kidney transplant recipients, and the ones available focus only on single nutrients intake, such as sodium, potassium, and proteins, and not on the overall eating pattern. Considering that individuals do not typically consume nutrients in isolation, but as part of a complete dietary pattern, it is challenging for the average transplanted patient to understand and implement specific dietary recommendations. Also, single-nutrient interventions demonstrate largely inconclusive effects, and it seems improbable that they could have a strong enough impact on transplant outcomes. Dietary trends such as plant-based diets, intermittent fasting, low-carb diet/keto-diet, and juicing, have gained major attention from the media. Herein, we review the potential risks and benefits of these diets in kidney transplant recipients and provide an updated dietary recommendation for this population with consideration of current nutritional trends. Overall, the Mediterranean and DASH diets have demonstrated to be the most beneficial dietary patterns to the post kidney transplant population by focusing on less meat and processed foods, while increasing the intake of fresh foods and plant-based choices. We believe that to maintain a healthy lifestyle posttransplant, patients should be educated about the scientific evidence of different diets and choose a dietary pattern that is sustainable long-term.

Abstract
Due to the unique role of the kidney in the metabolism of nutrients, patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) lose the ability to excrete solutes and maintain homeostasis. Nutrient intake modifications and monitoring of nutritional status in this population becomes critical, since it can affect important health outcomes, including progression to kidney failure, quality of life, morbidity, and mortality. Although there are multiple hemodynamic and metabolic factors involved in the progression and prognosis of CKD, nutritional interventions are a central component of the care of patients with non-dialysis CKD (ND-CKD) and of the prevention of overweight and possible protein energy-wasting. Here, we review the reno-protective effects of diet in adults with ND-CKD stages 3-5, including transplant patients.

Abstract
Many physiological properties of the renal system influence nutrient metabolism, elimination, and homeostasis. Kidney failure poses significant challenges to maintaining adequate nutrition, most of which transplantation ameliorates. Comprehensive recommendations for managing nutritional derangements for patients with chronic kidney disease and end stage renal disease exist; however, there are only sparse guidelines for post-transplant malnutrition and adverse outcomes. Not only are guidelines limited, but little is known about dietary trends of post-kidney transplant recipients. This review describes guidelines for prevalent metabolic and nutritional complications post-kidney transplantation and also evaluates changes in caloric intake and diet composition after transplantation. This topic is important because nutrition influences allograft function and a number of cardiovascular risk factors including blood pressure, dyslipidemia, weight, and diabetes. In addition, many dietary recommendations and modifiable lifestyle changes should be tailored for specific complications of transplant patients, namely immunosuppression side effects, dietary restrictions, and electrolyte imbalances.

Abstract
Background Hyperphosphataemia is an independent risk factor for accelerated cardiovascular disease in chronic kidney disease (CKD), although the mechanism for this is poorly understood. We investigated the effects of sustained exposure to a high-phosphate environment on endothelial function in cellular and preclinical models, as well as in human subjects. Methods Resistance vessels from rats and humans (± CKD) were incubated in a normal (1.18 mM) or high (2.5 mM) phosphate concentration solution and cells were cultured in normal- (0.5 mM) or high-phosphate (3 mM) concentration media. A single-blind crossover study was performed in healthy volunteers, receiving phosphate supplements or a phosphate binder (lanthanum), and endothelial function measured was by flow-mediated dilatation. Results Endothelium-dependent vasodilatation was impaired when resistance vessels were exposed to high phosphate; this could be reversed in the presence of a phosphodiesterase-5-inhibitor. Vessels from patients with CKD relaxed normally when incubated in normal-phosphate conditions, suggesting that the detrimental effects of phosphate may be reversible. Exposure to high-phosphate disrupted the whole nitric oxide pathway with reduced nitric oxide and cyclic guanosine monophosphate production and total and phospho endothelial nitric oxide synthase expression. In humans, endothelial function was reduced by chronic phosphate loading independent of serum phosphate, but was associated with higher urinary phosphate excretion and serum fibroblast growth factor 23. Conclusions These directly detrimental effects of phosphate, independent of other factors in the uraemic environment, may explain the increased cardiovascular risk associated with phosphate in CKD.

Abstract
CONTEXT Although hypophosphatemia is usually very seldom, it can reach two to 3% of hospitalized patients and until 28% of intensive care unit patients. Due to the lack of knowledge, clinical practice regarding seeking or treatment of hypophosphatemia is very heterogenous. However its clinical consequences might be heavy. A better knowledge of its causes, physiopathological effects and treatment should lead to a documented and homogenous care of these patients in clinics. OBJECTIVE The aim of our study was a systematic review of littérature, seeking for publications about causes, consequences and treatment of hypophosphatemia. DOCUMENTARY SOURCES (KEYWORDS AND LANGUAGE) A research has been conducted on the Medline database by using the following keywords "phosphorus supplementation", "hypophosphatemia" and ("physiopathology" or "complications"). RESULTS Three mains mechanisms might be responsible for hypophosphatemia: a decrease in digestive absorption, a rise in kidney excretion and a transfer of phosphorus to the intracellular compartment. Denutrition, acid base balance troubles, parenteral nutrition or several drugs are capable of provoking or favouring hypophosphatemia. All these situations are frequently encountered in intensive care unit. Consequences of hypophosphatemia might be serious. Best studied and documented are cardiac and respiratory muscle contractility decrease, sometimes leading to acute cardiac and respiratory failure, cardiac rhythm troubles and cardiac arrest. Hypophosphatemia is frequent during sepsis. It could be responsible for leucocyte dysfunction that might favour or increase sepsis. The treatment of hypophosphatemia is usually simple through a supplementation that quickly restores a regular concentration, with few adverse effects when regularly used. CONCLUSION During at-risk situations, the systematic search for hypophosphatemia and its treatment may limit the occurrence of serious consequences.

Abstract
Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway is thought to be implicated in the development of arterial stiffness and vascular calcification. As a Wnt signaling pathway inhibitor, it is interesting to investigate whether sclerostin or dickkopf-1 (DKK1) level is correlated with arterial stiffness in renal transplant (RT) recipients. Fasting blood samples were obtained for biochemical data, sclerostin, DKK1, and osteoprotegerin (OPG) determinations. In this study, we applied automatic pulse wave analyzer (VaSera VS-1000) to measure brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity and either sides of brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity value, which greater than 14.0 m/s was determined as high arterial stiffness. Among 68 RT recipients, 30 patients (44.1%) were in the high arterial stiffness group. Compared with patients in the low arterial stiffness group, patients in the high arterial stiffness group had higher prevalence of hypertension (P = 0.002), diabetes (P < 0.001), metabolic syndrome (P = 0.025), longer posttransplant duration (P = 0.005), higher systolic blood pressure (P < 0.001) and diastolic blood pressure (P = 0.018), and higher fasting glucose (P = 0.004), total cholesterol (P = 0.042), blood urea nitrogen (P = 0.020), phosphorus (P = 0.042), and sclerostin levels (P = 0.001). According to our multivariable forward stepwise linear regression analysis, age (β = 0.272, P = 0.014), phosphorus (β = 0.308, P = 0.007), and logarithmically-transformed OPG (log-OPG; β = 0.222, P = 0.046) were positively associated with sclerostin levels, and multivariate logistic regression analysis, sclerostin (odds ratio 1.052, 95% confidence interval 1.007-1.099, P = 0.024), and posttransplant duration (odds ratio 1.024, 95% confidence interval 1.004-1.045, P = 0.019) were the independent predictors of peripheral arterial stiffness in RT recipients. In this study, serum sclerostin level, but not DKK1, was proved to be involved in the pathogenetic process of peripheral arterial stiffness in RT recipients.

Abstract
Premature cardiovascular disease is the commonest cause of death in solid organ transplant recipients, with coronary artery disease, sudden cardiac death and heart failure being highly prevalent. There are unique factors leading to CV disease in organ transplant recipients that include underlying comorbidities, and metabolic effects of immunosuppression. As a consequence management strategies developed in the general population may have limited benefit. In this review, we will focus on renal transplantation, where most research has been carried out and, despite incomplete understanding of the disease process, the incidence of cardiovascular disease appears to be falling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hyperparathyroidism is a common complication of chronic renal failure. A functioning kidney graft improves hyperparathyroidism but it can persist to some degree for years. Persistent hyperparathyroidism associated with hypercalcemia and hyperphosphatemia have been associated with poor graft and patient survivals. The purpose of the present work was to assess the association between calcium/phosphate mineral metabolism markers and graft outcomes. PATIENTS AND METHODS Among 389 renal transplantations performed in our center between January 2000 and June 2008, 331 patients had functioning grafts at 12 months, the subjects of this study. Measurements of intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), serum calcium and phosphate, tubular phosphate reabsorption, and urinary calcium excretion were performed at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months. The mean follow-up was 84.0 ± 31.8 months. RESULTS During the follow-up period, 63 grafts (19.0%) were lost, 30 patients (9.0%) died, and 80 recipients (24.2%) presented at least one cardiovascular event. Univariate Cox proportional analysis showed high iPTH levels at 1 and 12 months after transplantation to not be associated with worse patient or graft survival or an higher risk of cardiovascular events. Serum phosphate and calcium concentrations as well as calcium-phosphate products during the first year after transplantation were not associated with graft and patient outcomes or cardiovascular events. However, serum calcium at 12 months showed an inverse association with graft survival after adjusting for other variables (hazard ratio 0.61; 95% confidence interval 0.40-0.94; P = .026). CONCLUSIONS iPTH levels and serum phosphate concentrations and calcium-phosphate products during the first year after transplantation were not associated with graft outcomes. The inverse association between adjusted calcium and graft survival should be studied further.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Serum phosphate concentrations have been shown to predict graft loss in prevalent, but not incident, kidney transplant populations. The reasons for this are unknown. We investigated whether serum phosphate at 6 or 12 months posttransplant was associated with graft loss in the same cohort. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data were collected for 325 patients transplanted and followed up at a single center (1996-2004). The association between serum phosphate at 6 and 12 months posttransplant and graft failure was analyzed. RESULTS Univariable associations with death-censored graft failure were seen for serum phosphate at 6 and 12 months (hazard ratio [HR] 1.33; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.20-1.48; P < .001, and HR 1.40; CI 1.27-1.54; P < .001). On bivariable analysis (phosphate at 6 vs 12 mo), a significant association remained for both variables and increased graft failure rate (HR 1.19; CI 1.07-1.34; P = .002, and HR 1.37; CI 1.21-1.55; P < .001). These associations persisted in multivariable models (HR 1.27; CI 1.07-1.51; P = .007, and HR 1.34; CI 1.14-1.57; P < .001 for phosphate at 6 and 12 mo). CONCLUSIONS Serum phosphate at 6 and 12 months posttransplant is an independent predictor of graft loss. Any future trial designed to investigate the benefits of phosphate lowering should consider recruiting patients as early as 6 months posttransplant.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Serum phosphorus levels are associated with mortality, cardiovascular disease, and renal function loss in individuals with and without chronic kidney disease. The association of pretransplant serum phosphorus levels with transplant outcomes is not clear. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS Data of the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR) up to June 2007 were linked to the database (2001 through 2006) of one of the U.S.-based large dialysis organizations (DaVita). The selected 9384 primary kidney recipients were divided into five groups according to pretransplant serum phosphorus levels (mg/dl): <3.5, 3.5 to <5.5 (reference group), 5.5 to <7.5, 7.5 to <9.5, and ≥9.5. Unadjusted and multivariate adjusted risks for transplant outcomes were compared. RESULTS Patients were 48 ± 14 years old and included 37% women and 27% African Americans. After multivariate adjustment, all-cause and cardiovascular death hazard ratios were 2.44 (95% confidence interval: 1.28 to 4.65) and 3.63 (1.13 to 11.64), respectively, in recipients in the ≥9.5 group; allograft loss hazard ratios were 1.42 (1.04 to 1.95) and 2.36 (1.33 to 4.17) in recipients with 7.5 to >9.5 and ≥9.5, respectively. No significant association with delayed graft function was found. CONCLUSIONS Pretransplant phosphorus levels 7.5 to <9.5 mg/dl and ≥9.5 mg/dl were associated with increased risk of functional graft failure and increased risk of all-cause and cardiovascular deaths, respectively, when compared with 3.5 to <5.5 mg/dl. Additional studies are needed to examine whether more aggressive control of pretransplant serum phosphorus may improve posttransplant outcomes.
