В статье приведен литературный обзор, посвященный современным проблемам в трансплантологии почек. Нерешенными проблемами остаются оценка донора, низкая приверженность пациентов иммуносупрессивной терапии и развитие дисфункции трансплантата. Развивающиеся осложнения после трансплантации и иммуносупрессивной терапии требуют междисциплинарного подхода в лечении и наблюдении реципиентов донорской почки. Также необходимо широкое развитие трупного донорства для снижения числа потенциальных пациентов с хронической болезнью почек. The article presents a literature review of contemporary problems in kidney transplantation. Donor evaluation, low adherence of patients to immunosuppressive therapy and the development of graft dysfunction remain as unresolved problems. Developing complications after transplantation and immunosuppressive therapy require an interdisciplinary approach in the treatment and monitoring of recipients of donor kidney. It is also indispensable to the development of cadaveric donation to reduce the number of potential patients with chronic kidney disease.

The Difference

Abstract Background and Aims Assuming that FGF23 levels correlate with phosphate excretion per nephron, nephron number can be estimated by measuring FGF23 levels and urinary phosphate excretion (FEP). Kuro-O proposed that the ratio of FEP to serum FGF23 levels should correlate with nephron number and is defined as the Nephron Index (NI). The aim of the study is calculating NI as nephron number estimation in patients affected by various degree of chronic kidney disease, both transplanted and not. Method In 147 CRF patients kidney function, mineral metabolism biomarkers and NI were evaluated. Nephron Index was calculated following Kuro-o’s equation (kuro-o 2019): NI=FEP·Ps·eGFRFGF23 Observed patients were divided into two groups: patients with CKD (noTX) and transplanted ones (TX). Results noTX group was made up of 67 patients (40 males and 27 females) affected by CKD stages from G1 to G5. TX group was composed by 80 patient (49 males and 31 females) with various degree of CKD (G1T-G4T) showing mean graft age of 83,2 ± 54,8 months (range: 10,3-268,0). The two groups differed for age (mean age 59 ± 15,6 years in CKD, 55± 10,3years in TX). Mean eGFR did not differ between TX and noTX but NI was higher in TX since FEP was higher despite lower FGF23 levels in TX. The difference in FGF23 levels does not appear to depend on Klotho and PTH whose serum levels were no different between Tx and noTx. (Table1). As far as correlations are concerned, NI correlated with eGFR, FGF23, PTH and 1,25D in both group, while NI correlated with FEP only in the TX group. It's interesting that no correlation existed between FGF23 and sP, FEP, eGFR and sKlotho in TX differently from noTX (Table2). Discussion. NI could not be properly defined as nephron number estimation in TX pts. However it may represent higher function of residual nephrons, since higher FEP did not correlate to FGF23 and could be determined by compensatory hyperfiltration (increased single nephron GFR) in transplanted patients. Conclusion After kidney transplantation, high NI value could have a functional meaning rather than represent residual number of nephrons.

Background: Functional abnormalities of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and elevated concentration of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) could contribute to cardiovascular disease (CVD) in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. Both qualitative and quantitative changes in HDL have been described in patients with CKD. Specifically, HDL abundance is reduced and HDL acquires a pro-inflammatory properties. In this study, we hypothesized that a functioning kidney transplant reduces serum nitrated apoA-I concentration. Methods: Concentrations of nitrated apoA-I, nitrated apoB, total apoA-I and total apoB were measured using indirect sandwich ELISA on sera collected from each transplant subject pre-transplant and at 1, 3, and 12 months post-transplant. Patients were excluded if they had a history of diabetes, prednisone dose > 15 mg/day, nephrotic range proteinuria, serum creatinine (Cr) > 1.5mg/dL or active inflammatory disease, or were treated with lipid-lowering medication or HIV protease inhibitors. Paired values of percent nitrated Apo A-I or nitrated apoB before and after kidney transplantation were compared using Wilcoxon signed rank sum test. Results: We screened 75 transplant patients, and 14 were found to meet the selection criteria. Amongst these patients, twelve and eight patients had Cr < 1.5 mg/dL at 3 and 12 months post-transplant, respectively. There was a significant reduction in % nitrated apoA-I at 12 months post-transplant compared to pre-transplant values in patients with Cr<1.5 mg/dL (p=0.04) but neither at 3 months post-transplant nor in patients with Cr >1.5. Reduction of nitrated apoA-I was associated with slight increase in HDL levels 12 months post-transplantation. In contrast to apoA-I, there was no significant change in % nitrated apoB at 3 months and 12 months post-transplant. No significant corelation was observed between nitrated lipoproteins and CRP levels. Conclusion: Patients with well functioning grafts had significant reduction in percent nitrated apoA-I without any effect on apoB nitration 12 months after kidney transplantation. Further studies are needed in a large cohort to determine if nitrated apoA-I can be used as a valuable marker for cardiovascular risk stratification in CKD.
