Proteinúria after kidney transplantation - prevalence and risk factors

Abstract: The prevalence of PTN after kidney Tx varied between 24.3%, according to the definition used. The male gender of the recipient, living donor and hypertension were associated with the occurrence of PTN after kidney Tx. Blockade of the renin-angiotensin system must be prescribed to more patients.

“…However, RAS inhibitors have potentially irreplaceable clinical significance because of their ability to improve outcomes. Many studies have investigated the possible benefits of ACEI/ARB treatment for renal transplant recipients, including the roles of controlling hypertension, reducing proteinuria and managing cardiovascular disease [1,10,11,52]. Despite this, and despite prescriptions for RAS inhibitors increasing from <20% in the early 1990s to >45% in the 2000s [19,53], there is no consensus on the benefits they offer for either patient or graft survival.…”

“…Concerning kidney transplant recipients, previous studies have confirmed that ACEI/ARB treatment is beneficial for hypertension and proteinuria [10,11], both of which are risk factors for patient death and graft loss [12]. ACEI/ARB treatment can also reduce the risk of cardiovascular events, which is the major cause of death in kidney recipients [13].…”

“…Proteinuria soon after KT can already be identified, however, it tends to reduce or disappear after a few days. This condition, when persistent for more than 3 months post-KT, carries risks for the progression and failure of the allograft 35 .…”

“…The causes of pt24h post-KT are diverse, and other risk factors may contribute to its development, such as post-KT SAH, age, number of episodes of acute rejection and NODAT 35 . Indirectly, these covariates affect allograft survival and should be considered before and after KT.…”

“…As we all know, proteinuria is a biological marker of renal abnormality and an important risk factor of progressive renal damage and subsequent renal function decline in most nephropathies [ 1 3 ]. In addition, proteinuria after renal transplantation has been associated with poor implant outcome for years [ 4 9 ]. Early proteinuria (persistence of urine protein excretion >0.5-1.0 g/24h during one- and three-month) is an independent powerful predictor of graft loss, cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, and short-term reduction of proteinuria is associated with improved long-term graft survival [ 2 , 10 15 ].…”
