RESUMO

The kidney performs several major functions: it eliminates toxins produced by cellular or xenobiotic metabolism, regulates the homeostasis of the internal environment and plays a hormonal role, producing erythropoietin, calcitriol and renin. Maintaining the body's homeostasis (hydric, ionic [sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, etc.] or acid-base balance) requires the successive action of plasma filtration, followed by reabsorption/secretion mechanisms, which take place in the various portions of the kidney's functional unit known as the nephron. The initial part of the nephron, the glomerulus, is the site of filtration, while the tubule, which collects the glomerular filtrate, is the site of reabsorption/secretion, leading to the composition of the final urine. It's important to understand how these different structures work, before tackling the various disorders that can affect the kidney.

RESUMO

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects almost 10% of the world's population, and over 30% of people aged over 70 [1,2]. The overall incidence of treated CKD is stable in France, but continues to rise sharply in people aged over 85 [3]. In its advanced stages, CKD is associated with numerous complications linked to disturbances in water, acid-base and phosphocalcium balance, as well as anemia and increased cardiovascular risk. A better understanding of risk factors, improved practices to promote nephroprotection, and progress in therapeutic education and preparation for suppletive techniques would help reduce this risk.

RESUMO

Kidney disease, whether acute or chronic, is a particularly common condition in the elderly, due to its main risk factors, the prevalence of which increases with age, and the fact that recovery from acute tubular damage is slower. Wherever possible, treatment of renal failure should be anticipated and discussed with the patient as part of a shared medical decision. Numerous treatment options are available to ensure maximum integration into the patient's life and care plan: renal transplantation for the most robust patients, hemodialysis in a care facility or at home, peritoneal dialysis at home, or medical treatment without dialysis. The choice of one of these treatments must leave the patient free to change his or her treatment modality at any time.

RESUMO

One of the kidney's major functions is to adjust the water and sodium balance in order to maintain a state of equilibrium. In the course of aging, even in the absence of renal pathology, changes are observed not only in renal macrostructure (reduction in kidney size, increase in the number of cysts), but also in microstructure (arteriosclerosis, glomerulosclerosis, fibrosis and tubular atrophy). All these changes can disrupt the homeostasis of water and sodium balances. The aim of this article is to review the physiology of water and sodium stores, and to assess the impact of aging on the regulatory loops of these different systems.

RESUMO

Acute renal failure (ARF) is a frequent medical problem, affecting 20% of hospitalized patients. Aging leads to functional changes in the kidney, disruptions to hydrosodium homeostasis, and is associated with a higher prevalence of chronic kidney disease due to the impact of numerous chronic illnesses (diabetes, arterial hypertension, benign prostatic hypertrophy, etc.). All these age-related impairments hamper the kidney's ability to adapt to acute events. While elderly subjects can develop all types of AKI, they are particularly at risk of iatrogenic AKI due to polymedication, functional AKI due to a change in their ability to maintain hydrosodium homeostasis, and obstructive AKI linked to urological pathologies.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Tacrolimus, an immunosuppressive drug prescribed to a majority of organ transplant recipients is nephrotoxic, through still unclear mechanisms. This study on a lineage of proximal tubular cells using a multi-omics approach aims to detect off-target pathways modulated by tacrolimus that can explain its nephrotoxicity. METHODS: LLC-PK1 cells were exposed to 5 µM of tacrolimus for 24 h in order to saturate its therapeutic target FKBP12 and other high-affine FKBPs and favour its binding to less affine targets. Intracellular proteins and metabolites, and extracellular metabolites were extracted and analysed by LC-MS/MS. The transcriptional expression of the dysregulated proteins PCK-1, as well as of the other gluconeogenesis-limiting enzymes FBP1 and FBP2, was measured using RT-qPCR. Cell viability with this concentration of tacrolimus was further checked until 72 h. RESULTS: In our cell model of acute exposure to a high concentration of tacrolimus, different metabolic pathways were impacted including those of arginine (e.g., citrulline, ornithine) (p < 0.0001), amino acids (e.g., valine, isoleucine, aspartic acid) (p < 0.0001) and pyrimidine (p < 0.01). In addition, it induced oxidative stress (p < 0.01) as shown by a decrease in total cell glutathione quantity. It impacted cell energy through an increase in Krebs cycle intermediates (e.g., citrate, aconitate, fumarate) (p < 0.01) and down-regulation of PCK-1 (p < 0.05) and FPB1 (p < 0.01), which are key enzymes in gluconeogenesis and acid-base balance control. DISCUSSION: The variations found using a multi-omics pharmacological approach clearly point towards a dysregulation of energy production and decreased gluconeogenesis, a hallmark of chronic kidney disease which may also be an important toxicity pathway of tacrolimus.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a complication of severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Kidney damage associated with COVID-19 could take specific features due to environmental and socio-cultural factors. This study evaluates the incidence of AKI, the associated factors, and mortality in COVID-19 patients in a Sub-Saharan African intensive care unit. METHODS: In a prospective cohort study conducted in the intensive care unit (ICU) of the Centre Médical de Kinshasa (CMK), consecutive patients admitted for COVID-19 were screened for the presence of AKI between 27 March, 2020 and 27 January 2022. AKI was defined according to Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) guidelines. The primary outcome was occurrence of AKI. The secondary outcome was 48 days' mortality and recovery of the renal function at intensive care unit (ICU) discharge. Survival (time-to death) curves were built using the Kaplan Meier methods. Multivariate analyses were performed by logistic regression to identify factors associated with AKI and Cox regression to explore the association between AKI and in-hospital mortality. The significance level of the p-value was set at 0.05. RESULTS: The median(IQR) sequential organ failure assessment score (SOFA) score and mean age of patients (215) including in our cohort were respectively 3(2-4) and 58.9 ± 14.9 years. The incidence of AKI was 28.4% with stages 1, 2, or 3 AKI accounted for 39.3%, 11.5%, and 49.2%, respectively. Hemodialysis was required in 16 out 215 (7.4%) patients. Dyspnea (adjusted odds ratio (aOR):2.27 [1.1--4.57] p = 0.021), SOFA ≥5 (aOR:3.11[1.29-7.53] p = 0.012), AST/ALT ratio (aOR: 1.53 [1.09-1.79] p = 0.015), N/L ratio (aOR:2.09 [1.09-3.20] p = 0.016), mechanical ventilation (aOR: 3.20 [1.66-10.51] p = 0.005) and Amikacin (aOR: 2.91 [1.37-6.18] p = 0.006) were the main factors associated with AKI. Patients with AKI had a mortality rate of 52.5% and 67.2% of the survivors did not recover kidney function at the end of hospitalization. Adjusted Cox regression analysis revealed that COVID-19-associated AKI was independently associated with in-hospital death (HR:2.96 [1.93-4.65] p = 0.013) compared to non-AKI patients. CONCLUSIONS: AKI was present in three out of ten COVID-19 patients. The most significant factors associated with AKI were dyspnea, SOFA ≥ 5, AST/ALT and N/L ratio, mechanical ventilation and Amikacin. AKI has been associated with an almost threefold increase in overall mortality and seven out of ten survivors did not recover kidney function after AKI.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is a systemic small-vessel vasculitis characterized by asthma, hypereosinophilia and ANCA positivity in 40% of patients. Renal involvement is rare and poorly described, leading to this renal biopsy-proven based study in a large EGPA cohort. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective multicentre study including patients fulfilling the 1990 ACR criteria and/or the 2012 revised Chapel Hill Consensus Conference criteria for EGPA and/or the modified criteria of the MIRRA trial, with biopsy-proven nephropathy. RESULTS: Sixty-three patients [27 women, median age 60 years (18-83)] were included. Renal disease was present at vasculitis diagnosis in 54 patients (86%). ANCA were positive in 53 cases (84%) with anti-MPO specificity in 44 (83%). All patients had late-onset asthma. Peripheral neuropathy was present in 29 cases (46%), alveolar haemorrhage in 10 (16%). The most common renal presentation was acute renal failure (75%). Renal biopsy revealed pauci-immune necrotizing GN in 49 cases (78%). Membranous nephropathy (10%) and membranoproliferative GN (3%) were mostly observed in ANCA-negative patients. Pure acute interstitial nephritis was found in six cases (10%); important interstitial inflammation was observed in 28 (44%). All patients received steroids with adjunctive immunosuppression in 54 cases (86%). After a median follow-up of 51 months (1-296), 58 patients (92%) were alive, nine (14%) were on chronic dialysis and two (3%) had undergone kidney transplantation. CONCLUSION: Necrotizing pauci-immune GN is the most common renal presentation in ANCA-positive EGPA. ANCA-negative patients had frequent atypical renal presentation with other glomerulopathies such as membranous nephropathy. An important eosinophilic interstitial infiltration was observed in almost 50% of cases.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Although kidney transplantation prolongs survival relative to dialysis, it is associated with a higher death rate than in the general population. The objective of the present study was to assess and compare the risk of mortality and frequency of non-lethal cardiovascular (CV) events in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) beyond 1 year after successful transplantation versus patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) using propensity score-matched analysis of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and other parameters. METHODS: After propensity score matching, we studied 340 KTRs from the French Données Informatisées et Validées en Transplantation cohort and 605 non-transplant patients with CKD (CKDps) from the French Chronic Kidney Disease-Renal Epidemiology and Information Network cohort. The mean ± standard deviation eGFR was 42 ± 13 and 41 ± 12 mL/min/ 1.73 m2, respectively (P = 0.649). Descriptive data were completed by a survival analysis with Cox regression models. RESULTS: After a median follow-up period of 2.8 years (KTRs 2.0 years, CKDp 2.9 years), 71 deaths were recorded (31 and 40 in the KTR and CKD groups, respectively). Univariate analysis showed that KTRs had a significantly greater risk of mortality than CKDps. In multivariable analysis, KTRs were found to have a 2.7-fold greater risk of mortality [hazard ratio 2.7 (95% confidence interval 1.6-4.7); P = 0.005]. There was no between-group difference concerning the risk of CV events (P = 0.448). CV death rates in KTRs (29.0%) approximated those of CKDps (22.5%), whereas death rates due to infections were higher in KTRs (19.4% versus 10.0%). CONCLUSION: Beyond 1 year after transplantation, KTRs, who possibly had a longer CKD history, had a significantly greater mortality risk than eGFR-matched CKDps. The excess risk was not associated with CV events.

RESUMO

We report a multicentric retrospective case series of patients with COVID-19 who developed acute kidney injury and/or proteinuria and underwent a kidney biopsy in the Paris and its metropolitan area. Forty-seven patients (80.9% men) with COVID-19 who underwent a kidney biopsy between March 08 and May 19, 2020 were included. Median age was 63 years IQR [52-69]. Comorbidities included hypertension (66.0%), diabetes mellitus (27.7%), obesity (27.7%), history of chronic kidney (25.5%), cardiac (38.6%) and respiratory (27.3%) diseases. Initial symptoms were fever (85.1%), cough (63.8%), shortness of breath (55.3%), and diarrhea (23.4%). Almost all patients developed acute kidney injury (97.9%) and 63.8% required renal replacement therapy. Kidney biopsy showed two main histopathological patterns, including acute tubular injury in 20 (42.6%) patients, and glomerular injury consisting of collapsing glomerulopathy and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis in 17 (36.2%) patients. Two (4.3%) patients had acute vascular nephropathy, while eight (17%) had alternative diagnosis most likely unrelated to COVID-19. Acute tubular injury occurred almost invariably in the setting of severe forms of COVID-19, whereas patients with glomerular injury had various profiles of COVID-19 severity and collapsing glomerulopathy was only observed in patients harboring a combination of APOL1 risk variants. At last follow-up, 16 of the 30 patients who initially required dialysis were still on dialysis, and 9 died. The present study describes the spectrum of kidney lesions in patients with COVID-19. While acute tubular injury is correlated with COVID-19 severity, the pattern of glomerular injury is intimately associated with the expression of APOL1 risk variants.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Circulating donor-specific anti-HLA antibodies (HLA-DSAs) are often absent in serum of kidney allograft recipients whose biopsy specimens demonstrate histology of antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR). It is unclear whether cases involving ABMR histology without detectable HLA-DSAs represent a distinct clinical and molecular phenotype. METHODS: In this multicenter cohort study, we integrated allograft microarray analysis with extensive clinical and histologic phenotyping from 224 kidney transplant recipients between 2011 and 2017. We used the term ABMR histology for biopsy specimens that fulfill the first two Banff 2017 criteria for ABMR, irrespective of HLA-DSA status. RESULTS: Of 224 biopsy specimens, 56 had ABMR histology; 26 of these (46.4%) lacked detectable serum HLA-DSAs. Biopsy specimens with ABMR histology showed overexpression of transcripts mostly related to IFNγ-induced pathways and activation of natural killer cells and endothelial cells. HLA-DSA-positive and HLA-DSA-negative biopsy specimens with ABMR histology displayed similar upregulation of pathways and enrichment of infiltrating leukocytes. Transcriptional heterogeneity observed in biopsy specimens with ABMR histology was not associated with HLA-DSA status but was caused by concomitant T cell-mediated rejection. Compared with cases lacking ABMR histology, those with ABMR histology and HLA-DSA had higher allograft failure risk (hazard ratio [HR], 7.24; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 3.04 to 17.20) than cases without HLA-DSA (HR, 2.33; 95% CI, 0.85 to 6.33), despite the absence of transcriptional differences. CONCLUSIONS: ABMR histology corresponds to a robust intragraft transcriptional signature, irrespective of HLA-DSA status. Outcome after ABMR histology is not solely determined by the histomolecular presentation but is predicted by the underlying etiologic factor. It is important to consider this heterogeneity in further research and in treatment decisions for patients with ABMR histology.

RESUMO

The medical device M101 is an extracellular hemoglobin featuring high oxygen-carrying capabilities. Preclinical studies demonstrated its safety as an additive to organ preservation solutions and its beneficial effect on ischemia/reperfusion injuries. OXYgen carrier for Organ Preservation (OXYOP) is a multicenter open-label study evaluating for the first time the safety of M101 added (1 g/L) to the preservation solution of one of two kidneys from the same donor. All adverse events (AEs) were analyzed by an independent data and safety monitoring board. Among the 58 donors, 38% were extended criteria donors. Grafts were preserved in cold storage (64%) or machine perfusion (36%) with a mean cold ischemia time (CIT) of 740 minutes. At 3 months, 490 AEs (41 serious) were reported, including two graft losses and two acute rejections (3.4%). No immunological, allergic, or prothrombotic effects were reported. Preimplantation and 3-month biopsies did not show thrombosis or altered microcirculation. Secondary efficacy end points showed less delayed graft function (DGF) and better renal function in the M101 group than in the contralateral kidneys. In the subgroup of grafts preserved in cold storage, Kaplan-Meier survival and Cox regression analysis showed beneficial effects on DGF independent of CIT (P = .048). This study confirms that M101 is safe and shows promising efficacy data.

RESUMO

The urinary chemokines CXCL9 and CXCL10 are promising noninvasive diagnostic markers of acute rejection (AR) in kidney recipients, but their levels might be confounded by urinary tract infection (UTI) and BK virus (BKV) reactivation. Multiparametric model development and validation addressed these confounding factors in a training set of 391 samples, optimizing the diagnostic performance of urinary chemokines. CXCL9/creatinine increased in UTI and BKV viremia with or without nephropathy (BKVN) (no UTI/leukocyturia/UTI: -0.10/1.61/2.09, P = .0001 and no BKV/viremia/BKVN: -0.10/1.90/2.29, P < .001) as well as CXCL10/creatinine (1.17/2.09/1.98, P < .0001 and 1.13/2.21/2.51, P < .001, respectively). An optimized 8-parameter model (recipient age, sex, estimated glomerular filtration rate, donor specific antibodies, UTI, BKV blood viral load, CXCL9, and CXCL10) diagnosed AR with high accuracy (area under the curve [AUC]: 0.85, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.80-0.89) and remained highly accurate at the time of screening (AUC: 0.81, 95% CI: 0.48-1) or indication biopsies (AUC: 0.85, 95% CI: 0.81-0.90) and within the first year (AUC: 0.86, 95% CI: 0.80-0.91) or later (AUC: 0.90, 95% CI: 0.84-0.96), achieving AR diagnosis with an AUC of 0.85 and 0.92 (P < .0001) in 2 external validation cohorts. Decision curve analyses demonstrated the clinical utility of the model. Considering confounding factors rather than excluding them, we optimized a noninvasive multiparametric diagnostic model for AR of kidney allografts with unprecedented accuracy.

RESUMO

The viral load of the ubiquitous and nonpathogenic torque teno virus (TTV) is associated with the grade of immunosuppression of its host. The development of next-generation sequencing (NGS) allowed to describe the human virome of the blood compartment in transplanted patients, and showed that TTV is the most important part of the virome. This study is a descriptive retrospective pilot study of sequencing plasma samples from 15 matched donors and recipients. After sample processing, nucleic acids were amplified by rolling circle amplification and submitted to NGS by ion proton sequencing technology. Results were analyzed after mapping of reads on the 29 TTV reference genomes and de novo assembling of the reads with MIRA software. The number of TTV species present in donors and recipients was, on average, 12 in donors and 33 in recipients. TTV species predominantly present in donors were TTV-13 and TTV-18; and in recipients were TTV-P15-2, TTV-27, TTV-HD14a, and TTV-22. We highlighted a significant variability in abundance and composition in sequential samples from recipients. Temporal evolution of TTV populations was clearly observed in recipients, but no preferential transmission of a species from donor to recipient was evidenced. Diversity and population expansion were observed in kidney recipients. Further study of TTV species could help assess the potential impact of each species of this virus.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Recently a peripheral blood 8-gene expression assay was developed for non-invasive detection of antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) after kidney transplantation. Its value has not yet been evaluated in detail in clinical scenarios with different baseline disease probability [human leucocyte antigen donor-specific antibodies (HLA-DSA)-positive versus HLA-DSA-negative cases at the time of stable graft function versus graft dysfunction]. METHODS: Here we investigated the diagnostic accuracy of the 8-gene expression assay for histology of ABMR (ABMRh) with or without HLA-DSA in a cross-sectional cohort study of 387 blood samples with a concomitant graft biopsy. RESULTS: In patients with HLA-DSA (n = 64), the 8-gene expression assay discriminated DSA-positive ABMRh (DSAposABMRh) cases (n = 16) with good diagnostic performance {area under the receiver operating characteristic curve [AUROC] 83.1% [95% confidence interval (CI) 70.8-95.3]}. Also, in HLA-DSA-negative samples (n = 323), a clinically relevant diagnostic performance for DSAnegABMRh cases was found (n = 30) with an AUROC of 75.8% (95% CI 67.4-84.4). The 8-gene assay did not discriminate DSAposABMRh cases from DSAnegABMRh cases. There was a net benefit for clinical decision-making when adding the 8-gene expression assay to a clinical model consisting of estimated glomerular filtration rate, proteinuria, HLA-DSA and age. CONCLUSION: The 8-gene expression assay shows great potential for implementation in the clinical follow-up of high-risk HLA-DSA-positive patients and clinical relevance in HLA-DSA-negative cases.

RESUMO

Post-transplantation lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is a severe complication in organ transplant recipients. The use of T lymphocyte-depleting antibodies (TLDAb), especially rabbit TLDAb, contributes to PTLD, and the V158F polymorphism of Fc gamma receptor IIIA (FcγRIIIA) also named CD16A could affect the concentration-effect relationship of TLDAb. We therefore investigated the association of this polymorphism with PTLD in kidney transplant recipients. We characterized the V158F polymorphism in two case-control cohorts (discovery, n = 196; validation, n = 222). Then, we evaluated the binding of rabbit IgG to human FcγRIIIA-158V and FcγRIIIA-158F. The V158F polymorphism was not linked to PTLD in the overall cohorts, but risk of PTLD was increased in VV homozygous recipients receiving TLDAb compared with F carriers in both cohorts, especially in recipients receiving TLDAb without muromonab (discovery: HR = 2.22 [1.03-4.76], P = 0.043, validation: HR = 1.75 [1.01-3.13], P = 0.049). In vitro, we found that the binding of rabbit IgG to human NK-cell FcγRIIIA was increased when cells expressed the 158-V versus the 158-F allotype. While the 158-V allotype of human FcγRIIIA binds rabbit immunoglobulin-G with higher affinity, the risk of PTLD was increased in homozygous VV kidney transplant recipients receiving polyclonal TLDAb.

PURPOSE: The usual recommended dose for gentamicin is 3 to 7 mg/kg/day for patients with a normal renal function while 1.7 mg/kg/day is recommended for patients undergoing chronic haemodialysis. The objectives of this study were to develop a population pharmacokinetics model (POPPK) for gentamicin, designed for patients undergoing dialysis, and to investigate the best dosing scheme for different MIC clinical breakpoints using Monte Carlo simulations. METHODS: In this monocentric prospective interventional open clinical study, 23 patients (141 gentamicin samples) were included. The covariates investigated were weight, creatinine, dialysis (yes/no), dialysis flow and dialysis duration. The POPPK model was developed in Pmetrics and 1000 time-concentration profiles were simulated for 9 doses between 2 and 10 mg/kg/day, with an inter-dose period of 24, 48 or 96 h to predict the probability of having both a serum peak > 8*MIC and a trough < 1 mg/L for MIC values between 0.25 and 4 mg/L. RESULTS: A two-compartment model including the dialysis on the elimination constant and bodyweight on the volume of distribution best described the data. A 30-min gentamicin infusion of 2 mg/kg/day (for MIC = 1 mg/L) or 8 mg/kg/day (for MIC = 4 mg/L) just before dialysis eliminated by two dialysis sessions before the next administration (dose interval of at least 96 h) led to a peak > 8*MIC for > 90% of the simulations and a trough concentration < 1 mg/L at 96 h for 92% and 34% respectively. CONCLUSION: The gentamicin dose generally used to treat infections in dialysis patients is insufficient and might be increased to 3-8 mg/kg/day just before dialysis, taking into account the type of infection.

RESUMO

Despite partial elucidation of the pathophysiology of antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) after kidney transplantation, it remains largely unclear which of the involved immune cell types determine disease activity and outcome. We used microarray transcriptomic data from a case-control study (n=95) to identify genes that are differentially expressed in ABMR. Given the co-occurrence of ABMR and T-cell-mediated rejection (TCMR), we built a bioinformatics pipeline to distinguish ABMR-specific mRNA markers. Differential expression of 503 unique genes was identified in ABMR, with significant enrichment of natural killer (NK) cell pathways. CIBERSORT (Cell type Identification By Estimating Relative Subsets Of known RNA Transcripts) deconvolution analysis was performed to elucidate the corresponding cell subtypes and showed increased NK cell infiltration in ABMR in comparison to TCMR and normal biopsies. Other leukocyte types (including monocytes/macrophages, CD4 and CD8 T cells, and dendritic cells) were increased in rejection, but could not discriminate ABMR from TCMR. Deconvolution-based estimation of NK cell infiltration was validated using computerized morphometry, and specifically associated with glomerulitis and peritubular capillaritis. In an external data set of kidney transplant biopsies, activated NK cell infiltration best predicted graft failure amongst all immune cell subtypes and even outperformed a histologic diagnosis of acute rejection. These data suggest that NK cells play a central role in the pathophysiology of ABMR and graft failure after kidney transplantation.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate medical treatments, in terms of adverse events (AEs) and therapeutic goals, in a large series of patients with cystinuria. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Data from 442 patients with cystinuria were recorded retrospectively. Crystalluria was studied in 89 patients. A mixed-effects logistic regression model was used to estimate how urine pH, specific gravity and cysteine-binding thiols (CBT) correlate with risk of cystine crystalluria. RESULTS: Alkalizing agents and CBT agents were given to 88.8% (n = 381) and 55.3% (n = 238) of patients, respectively. Gastrointestinal AEs were reported in 12.3%, 10.4% and 2.6% of patients treated with potassium bicarbonate, potassium citrate and sodium bicarbonate, respectively (P = 0.008). The percentages of patients who experienced at least one AE with tiopronin (24.6%) and with D-penicillamine (29.5%) were similar (P = 0.45). Increasing urine pH and decreasing urine specific gravity significantly reduced the risk of cystine crystalluria, whereas D-penicillamine and tiopronin treatments did not reduce this risk (odds ratio [OR] 1 for pH ≤6.5; OR 0.52 [95% confidence interval {95% CI} 0.28-0.95] for 7.0 8.0, P <0.001). CONCLUSION: Adverse events were frequent with D-penicillamine and tiopronin. Alkaline hyperdiuresis was well tolerated and reduced cystine crystalluria. Urine specific gravity ≤1.005 and urine pH >7.5, while warning about calcium-phosphate crystallization, should be the goals of medical therapy.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Immunosuppressant Bayesian dose adjustment (ISBA) is an online expert system, routinely used by approximately 140 transplantation centers in the world for the dose adjustment of immunosuppressive drugs in transplant patients. This system determines the area under the curve (AUC) of the drug by pharmacokinetic modeling and Bayesian estimation. The purpose of this study was to analyze tacrolimus exposure after administration of its modified-release formulation (Advagraf) in kidney allograft recipients, to optimize its therapeutic drug monitoring. METHODS: This is a retrospective study of exposure indices measured locally [trough tacrolimus concentration (C0), C0/dose] or estimated through ISBA (AUC, AUC/dose, AUC/C0), of their evolution over posttransplantation time, and of the correlations between them. RESULTS: A total of 922 requests posted by 28 different centers for routine Advagraf adjustment in 530 different patients treated with Advagraf were studied. The exposure to, and dose requirement of, tacrolimus significantly increased across the first posttransplant months before reaching steady state. The AUC:C0 ratio (on which C0 monitoring is implicitly based) was stable across the different posttransplant periods, although with high interindividual variability. C0-AUC correlation was stronger in the late than in the early posttransplant period (r = 0.75 versus 0.63; P = 0.0075). Using the regression equations obtained, AUC ranges corresponding to different applicable C0 target ranges were calculated to guide dose adjustment. When one of the doses recommended was administered, the following AUC was significantly more often in the predicted target ranges (P < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: This study improves our knowledge of Advagraf pharmacokinetic variability and relations between exposure indices and the scientific background of the expert service provided through the ISBA Web site.
