Abstract
Risk factors for anemia after one year of kidney transplantation
Highlights
Compared with other replacement therapies, kidney transplantation (KT) has offered the best results in the patient’s living condition and survival [1,2,3,4], it is not without complications
When developing a regression model in which the variables with statistical significance were included in the bivariate, the type of donor, sex, as well as creatinine at six and twelve months were taken for a final model, (Table 3)
We found that the factors associated with post renal transplant anemia (PTA) at one year of followup were: height, baseline creatinine, creatinine at the third, sixth and twelfth month; increasing the risk for women, cadaveric donor, serum creatinine above 1.2 mg/dL at the sixth and twelfth month, as well as creatinine above 2.0 mg/dL at the third, sixth and twelfth month
Summary
Compared with other replacement therapies, kidney transplantation (KT) has offered the best results in the patient’s living condition and survival [1,2,3,4], it is not without complications. One of them is anemia, which is usually present in patients with advanced stages of kidney damage. This condition is correctable, in most cases, with KT, when it is not achieved, it negatively influences the function, conservation and survival of the kidney graft [5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14] due to its effect at the cardiovascular level. It should be noted that, in studies with analysis adjusted to age, gender and stage of kidney disease, an increase in the risk of mortality was observed with moderate (HR 6.16, 95% CI 1.12-34.33, p = 0.038) and severe (HR 9.79, 95% CI 2.57-37.26, p = 0.001) [25], after 10 years of follow-up
