Increased CD64 expression on polymorphonuclear neutrophils indicates infectious complications following solid organ transplantation

Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of monitoring CD64 antigen upregulation on polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) for the identification of infectious complications in the postoperative course of solid organ transplanted patients. Twenty-five kidney, 13 liver, and four pancreas-kidney transplanted patients were included. Beginning with preoperative values up to postoperative values after 3 months for each patient, the PMN CD64 Index, HLA-DR on monocytes, NKp44 1 NK and NK/T cells, CXCR3… Show more

“…The performance of the models was assessed by calculating the area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 22.0 (SPSS, Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). A P-value of < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.…”

“…Given that the neutrophil is the major cellular component of acute response to infection, the CD64 expression by neutrophil granulocytes has also been shown to be a useful parameter for diagnostic evaluation of suspect postoperative complications in transplanted patients [6]; the high diagnostic value for infectious complications shown in other studies is not influenced by immunosuppression in this population. The use of CD64 expression by neutrophil granulocytes as an infection marker also in the postoperative course of transplanted patients should allow early determination of further treatment already within 24 hours without waiting for the definitive microbiologic culture results [9].…”

“…Given that the neutrophil is the major cellular component of acute response to infection, the detection of molecular changes of neutrophil granulocytes' activation could provide a rapid and sensitive indicator of a systemic inflammatory response (1,2,(9)(10)(11)14). Diagnostic use of a quantitative flow cytometric assay for expression strength of CD64 by neutrophil granulocytes as an in vitro indicator of neutrophil granulocytes' activation seems to be a valuable marker as an additional utility in the evaluation of patients with suspected acute inflammation or infection (1,3 CD64 expression by neutrophil granulocytes has also been shown to be a useful parameter for diagnostic evaluation of suspect postoperative complications in transplanted patients (6); the high diagnostic value for infectious complications shown in other studies is not influenced by immunosuppression in this population.
