Steatotic grafts are increasingly being used for liver transplant (LT); however, the impact of graft steatosis on renal function has not been well described.
A total of 511 allografts from Mayo Clinic Arizona and Minnesota were assessed. We evaluated post-LT acute kidney injury (AKI) patterns, perioperative variables and one-year outcomes for patients receiving moderately steatotic allografts (>30% macrovesicular steatosis, = 40) and compared them to non-steatotic graft recipients.
Post-LT AKI occurred in 52.5% of steatotic graft recipients versus 16.7% in non-steatotic recipients ( < 0.001). Ten percent of steatotic graft recipients required new dialysis post-LT ( = 0.003). At five years, there were no differences for AKI vs. no AKI patient survival (HR 0.95, 95% CI 0.08-10.6, = 0.95) or allograft survival (HR 1.73, 95% CI 0.23-13.23, = 0.59) for those using steatotic grafts. Lipopeliosis on biopsy was common in those who developed AKI (61.0% vs. 31.6%, = 0.04), particularly when the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) was ≥20 (88.9%; = 0.04). Lipopeliosis was a predictor of post-LT AKI (OR 6.0, 95% CI 1.1-34.6, = 0.04).
One-year outcomes for moderately steatotic grafts are satisfactory; however, a higher percentage of post-LT AKI and initiation of dialysis can be expected. Presence of lipopeliosis on biopsy appears to be predictive of post-LT AKI.
脂肪变性的移植物越来越多地用于肝移植(LT);然而,移植物脂肪变性对肾功能的影响尚未得到充分描述。
对来自亚利桑那州和明尼苏达州梅奥诊所的511个同种异体移植物进行了评估。我们评估了接受中度脂肪变性移植物(>30%大泡性脂肪变性,n = 40)患者的肝移植后急性肾损伤(AKI)模式、围手术期变量和一年结局,并将其与非脂肪变性移植物受者进行比较。
肝移植后AKI发生在52.5%的脂肪变性移植物受者中,而非脂肪变性受者中为16.7%(P < 0.001)。10%的脂肪变性移植物受者在肝移植后需要新的透析(P = 0.003)。在五年时,对于使用脂肪变性移植物的患者,发生AKI与未发生AKI的患者生存率(HR 0.95,95%CI 0.08 - 10.6,P = 0.95)或同种异体移植物生存率(HR 1.73,95%CI 0.23 - 13.23,P = 0.59)没有差异。活检发现脂质沉着在发生AKI的患者中很常见(61.0%对31.6%,P = 0.04),特别是当终末期肝病模型(MELD)≥20时(88.9%;P = 0.04)。脂质沉着是肝移植后AKI的一个预测因素(OR 6.0,95%CI 1.1 - 34.6,P = 0.04)。
中度脂肪变性移植物的一年结局令人满意;然而,可以预期肝移植后AKI的发生率和透析启动率会更高。活检中脂质沉着的存在似乎可预测肝移植后AKI。
