ABSTRACT

Background: Proteinuria is an indicator of subsequent renal function decline in most nephropathies and early proteinuria has been assumed to be a risk factor of poor kidney transplant outcomes. However, there is no information about the effect of earlier-proteinuria at the first week on short-term graft function after living donor renal transplantation.

Methods: Retrospective cohort study of 439 living donor kidney transplants to analyze the effect of early proteinuria at 7-day post-transplantation on short-term prognosis of living donor renal transplantation. Patients were stratified into 2 groups according to the definition of earlier-proteinuria: Group A as proteinuria < 0.4 g/24h and Group B as proteinuria ≥ 0.4 g/24h, and differences over the first year post-transplantation were analyzed.

Results: Patients with earlier-proteinuria ≥ 0.4 g/24h had a significantly higher 1-year proteinuria and lower 1-year graft function post-transplantation. Discrepancies of weight ratio of donor-recipient and mean artery pressure difference of recipient to donor influenced the urine protein excretion at the 7-day post-transplantation.

Conclusions: Earlier-proteinuria at 7-day after living donor renal transplantation was associated with short-term graft function. To eliminate the functional discrepancies between living donors and recipients could be viewed as a solution of reducing earlier-proteinuria.
