ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Acute kidney injury and chronic kidney failure are serious complications after lung transplantation. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the primary indicator of renal function. Several equations have been proposed to evaluate the estimated GFR (eGFR). We compared three different equations to determine which has the better correlation with the development of acute and chronic renal failure in lung recipients.METHODS:
Twenty-two patients with a mean age of 54.4 ± 8.5 years underwent lung transplantation from 2010 to 2015. Thirteen (59%) had pulmonary fibrosis, 7 (32%) emphysema, 1 (4.5%) bronchiectasis, and 1 (4.5%) lymphangioleiomyomatosis. In all patients, eGFR was measured preoperatively using Cockcroft-Gault (CG), Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD), and Levey's Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equations. In 20 patients (90%) eGFR was calculated at 1, 3, and 6 months.RESULTS:
According to CKD-EPI and MDRD, eight patients (36.3%) had preoperative reduction in eGFR, whereas 6 patients (27.2%) had preoperative reduction according to the CG (P = .04). The mean values were higher for the CG (103.2 vs. 102 vs. 94.4). Five patients (22.7%) developed perioperative acute renal failure requesting a dialysis treatment; four of these showed a preoperative eGFR to the highest CG (P = .05). At 1 and 6 months after lung transplantation, the CG, MDRD and CKD-EPI eGFR values were, respectively, 86.6, 84.1 and 76.6 mL/min/1.73m2 and 75.8, 72.7, and 72.3 mL/min/1.73m2. CKD-EPI eGFR values are more predictable than the other equations of AKI.CONCLUSIONS:
Preoperative assessment of eGFR using the MDRD and CKD-EPI seems to correlate better than the CG to the prediction of acute renal failure, whereas for the chronic form the three equations seem equivalent.
