Factor V Leiden Mutation

SummaryWe analysed whether the factor V Leiden mutation – the most common hereditary predisposing factor for venous thrombosis – is associated with early and long-term graft dysfunction after kidney transplantation in 394 Caucasian kidney transplant recipients. The presence of factor V Leiden mutation was identified by allele specific PCR. The prevalence of the factor V Leiden mutation was compared to 32216 unselected neonates. The prevalence of the factor V Leiden mutation (GA genotype) was similar in 394 kidney transplant recipients and 32216 neonates. The frequency of known factors predicting long-term graft function were similar in patients with the GA genotype and with the normal factor V gene (GG genotype). The GA genotype was associated with the occurrence of no primary graft function (risk: 2.87; 95% confidence interval: 1.01-8.26; p < 0.05), the number of dialysis after transplantation in patients with no primary graft function until graft function (7.5 ± 2.06 dialysis in GA patients; 4.2 ± 0.36 dialyses in GG patients; p < 0.05), and the risk for at least one acute rejection episode (risk: 3.83; 95% confidence interval: 1.38-10.59; p < 0.02). The slope of 1/creatinine per year was significantly lower in patients with the GA genotype (GA patients: – 0.0204 ± 0.008 dl/mg per year; GG patients: 0.0104 ± 0.004 dl/mg per year; p < 0.02). The annual enhancement of the daily protein excretion rate was elevated in patients with the GA genotype (GA patients: 38.5 ± 16.6 mg/24 h per year; GG patients: 4.9 ± 4.4 mg/24 h per year; p < 0.02). Our study showed that the factor V Leiden mutation is associated with the occurrence of delayed graft function, acute rejection episodes and chronic graft dysfunction after kidney transplantation.

Term Care

Pediatric kidney transplant recipients are distinguished from adult recipients by the need for many decades of graft function, the potential effect of CKD on neurodevelopment, and the changing immune environment of a developing human. The entire life of an individual who receives a transplant as a child is colored by their status as a transplant recipient. Not only must these young recipients negotiate all of the usual challenges of emerging adulthood (transition from school to work, romantic relationships, achieving independence from parents), but they must learn to manage a life-threatening medical condition independently. Regardless of the age at transplantation, graft failure rates are higher during adolescence and young adulthood than at any other age. All pediatric transplant recipients must pass through this high-risk period. Factors contributing to the high graft failure rates in this period include poor adherence to treatment, potentially exacerbated by the transfer of care from pediatric- to adult-oriented care providers, and perhaps an increased potency of the immune response. We describe the characteristics of pediatric kidney transplant recipients, particularly those factors that may influence their care throughout their lives. We also discuss the risks associated with the transition from pediatric- to adult-oriented care and provide some suggestions to optimize transition to adult-oriented transplant care and long-term outcomes.

Increased Risk

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a rising health concern worldwide, especially in Indonesia. The treatment of choice for end-stage renal disease is Kidney Transplantation.1 Numerous studies showed that prolonged total ischemic ischemic time may cause hypoxia of the graft tissue and increased risk of ischemia and reperfusion injury (IRI) and delayed graft function (DGF).2 Body mass index of kidney transplant recipients may cause prolonged duration of the procedure, as well as prolonged total ischemic time. This study aimed to determine the correlation between prolonged total ischemic time with body mass index. Method: This was an observational and cross-sectional analysis at Kariadi General Hospital Semarang involving patients who underwent kidney transplantation from January 2016 to December 2019. The total ischemic time was recorded intraoperatively. The Body Mass Index data were provided by medical records. The program used to statistically analyze the data was SPSS 23.0, and Spearman was used for hypothesis testing. Result: This study included 25 kidney transplant recipients. The mean total ischemic time was 43,27 ± 6,63 minutes. There was a significant positive correlation between prolonged ischemic time and body mass index (r= 0,506 ; p= 0,010). Conclusion: Prolonged total ischemic time was positively correlated with increased body mass index and these results are statistically significant.
