Abstract
Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) are at a higher risk of needing hip or knee replacement (joint replacement) surgery due to the high prevalence of degenerative joint disease and other conditions. However, there remains a large debate about the timing of joint replacement surgery and whether it should be pre- vs post-transplant. We conducted a retrospective study analyzing all adult kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) at our university hospital who had undergone subsequent joint replacement between 2001 and 2017. Transplant-specific outcomes of acute rejection, death censored graft failure (DCGF), and patient death post-joint replacement surgery were outcomes of interest. Controls were selected at a 1:3 ratio based on the incidence density sampling of post-transplant interval. There were 101 KTRs in the joint replacement group and were compared with 281 controls. In the multivariate analysis, the need for joint replacement was not associated with acute rejection (HR: 1.59; 95% CI: 0.77-3.29; p = 0.21); DCGF (HR: 0.89; 95% CI: 0.49-1.60; p = 0.70) or patient death (HR: 0.84, 95% CI: 0.55-1.38, p = 0.42). In selected KTRs, joint replacement surgery was not associated with detrimental transplant-specific outcomes. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Little is known aboutbiopsy findings and outcomes when kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) undergo biopsy for isolated proteinuria with stable serum creatinine (SCr). METHODS We analyzed all KTRs who underwent biopsy for isolated proteinuria with stable SCr between January 2016 and June 2020. Patients were divided into three groups based on the biopsy findings: Active Rejection (AR), Glomerulonephritis (GN), and Other. RESULTS A total of 130 KTRs fulfilled our selection criteria; 38 (29%) in the AR group, 26 (20%) in the GN group, and 66 (51%) in the Other group. Most baseline characteristics were similar between the groups. In multivariate analysis, higher HLA mismatch (HR per mismatch: 1.30; 95% CI:1.06-1.59; P = .01) and male gender (HR: .45; 95% CI .23-.89; P = .02) were associated with AR. There was no significant correlation between the degree of proteinuria and rejection (r = .05, P = .58) or GN (r = .07, P = .53). Graft survival was also similar between the groups. Likely due to the early diagnosis without a significant rise in SCr, outcomes were similar among all three groups. CONCLUSION Routine monitoring for proteinuria followed by a biopsy and appropriate management may help to identify early acute graft injury and prevent graft failure.
