Background
Renal transplant (RTx) is the best choice of life-quality of renal replacement therapy for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a genetic disorder and common cause of ESRD. Different from other causes of ESRD, ADPKD patients need more delicate pre-RTx evaluation for intracranial aneurisms, cardiac manifestation, and complications of liver and renal cysts. The outcome of RTx with ADPKD is still unknown in Taiwan.
Methods
We retrieved our 1327 RTx recipients with 1382 times (two recipients with 3 times, 48 recipients with 2 times) of RTx in the past 35 years. There were 41 recipients with ADPKD. This study evaluated the demographics, outcomes, and complications of RTx in patients with ADPKD compared with other nephropathies.
Results
The mean recipient age at first RTx was 42.9 ± 12.6 years, however, the ADPKD group (52.5 ± 10.1 yrs) was elder than other group (42.7 ± 12.7 yrs, P = 0.001). The gender of RTx recipients was female 586 (44.2%) and male 741 (55.8%), though, ADPKD group had higher male gender (28, 68.3%) than other group (713, 55.4%) without statistically significance (P = 0.245). Interestingly, the new onset diabetes after transplant (NODAT) was higher in ADPKD group (21, 51.2%) than other group (326, 25.3%; P = 0.005), and more malignancy (18; 43.9% vs. 360; 28.0%; P = 0.041). The patient survival was inferior in ADPKD group (38.9% vs. 70.3%; P = 0.018).
Conclusion
Further studies with multiple centers and greater numbers of patients are needed to compare more precisely the complications and results of transplant between patients with ADPKD and other recipients in Taiwan.
