Abstract

Introduction: Identifying factors that are associated of allograft function loss might be an important step toward prolonging kidney allograft survival.

Purpose: In this study we found to determine the association between histologic changes on 1-year surveillance biopsies and changes in graft function.

Methods: Recipients of kidneys from deceased donors (95%) or living donors (5%) trasplanted between 2007 and 2012. The primary end point was reduction in calculated glomerular filtration rate (Cockroft anf Gault) higher 5ml/min 12 months post transplant vs calculated glomerular filtration rate previous surveillance biopsie.

Results: This analysis included 114 adults, recipients of kidneys with low immunological risk receiving basiliximab induction from deceased donors (95%) or living donors (5%), transplanted between august 2007 and july 2012. The primary end point was reduction in calculated glomerular filtration rate (Cockroft & Gault) higher 5ml/min 12 months post trasplant . 25 of 114 patientes showing reduction; The histologic changes associated with renal function reduction were glomerulitis (p=0,024), interstitial inflamation (p=0,001), tubulitis (p=0,001), capilaritis (p=0,001), glomerulitis + capilaritis (p=0,001), polyoma virus nephropathy (p=0,04) and subclinical rejection (p=0,015). By regression analyses, interstitial inflamation (OR = 2,11; IC 95%: 1,13-3,95) and capilaritis (0R=7,12; IC 95%:1,57-32,27) were associated with renal function redcution 12 month post-transplant.

Conclusion: inflammation and capilaritis in protocol biopsies in first year post-transplant predict loss of graft function and independently of other variables.
