TLDR
Pretransplantation Hb concentration did not affect outcome except for longer initial hospital stay and 1-year creatinine concentration, and the need for post-KTx transfusions was comparable between groups.Abstract:
The effect of pretransplantation hemoglobin (Hb) concentration on the outcome of kidney transplantation (KTx) was studied in 188 adult kidney transplant recipients. Patients were divided into 2 groups: high Hb (≥10 g/dL; n = 97) and low Hb (<10 g/dL; n = 91). Both groups were matched for recipient sex, donor age and sex, donor-recipient blood groups, indications for kidney transplantation, and degree of sensitization. Acute rejection episodes occurred in 20 patients in the high-Hb group (20.6%) and 18 in the low-Hb group (19.8%). Antithymocyte globulin-Fresenius therapy was required in 6 patients in the high-Hb group compared with 5 patients in the low-Hb group. Infection rate, 1-year actuarial patient and graft survival, incidence of delayed and slow graft function, and number of surgical complications were comparable between groups. Compared with the low Hb group, in the high-Hb group, hospital stay was longer, creatinine concentration at 12 months post-KTx and serum glucose concentration at 6 months post-KTx were significantly higher, and pre- and posttransplantation Hb concentrations were higher. The need for post-KTx transfusions was comparable between groups. Pretransplantation Hb concentration did not affect outcome except for longer initial hospital stay and 1-year creatinine concentration.read more

TL;DR: This curriculum is based on the best available evidence around preoperative considerations involving donors and recipients and was revised to meet the requirements and resources across the country.

The impact of post-transplant hemoglobin level on renal allograft outcome.

TL;DR: Post-transplant anemia was associated with poorer renal function at 12 months, higher acute rejection rates, and worse long-term renal allograft outcomes compared with subjects displaying normal hemoglobin levels.

The pre-transplant anemic condition is independent of long-term outcome in living-related kidney transplantation.
TL;DR: Pre-transplant Hb concentration <10 g/dL is independent of poor long-term outcome of living-related kidney transplantation, and is not associated with increased risk of developing DGF.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anemia in living donor kidney transplantation.
TL;DR: This study indicated that successful kidney transplantation had a positive effect on Hb levels, and Pretransplantation severe anemia predicted worse graft function in the first month after transplantation.

TL;DR: It is suggested that decremental change in perioperative Hb greater than 1.35 g/dL may serve as a modifiable factor of PEGF in DDKT.

TL;DR: ACEi and AT II antagonists were generally effective antihypertensives, and were safe and well-tolerated agents in this cohort of RTRs.

TL;DR: There may be a significant haemodynamic and symptomatic advantage in maintaining a physiological [Hb] in haemodialysis patients, and a substantially higher dose of epoetin is required to maintain this level.

TL;DR: Although a known cardiovascular risk factor, anemia in the renal transplant recipients has only recently been receiving an increasing attention and is likely to be a cause for concern.

Efficacy of erythropoietin administration in the treatment of anemia immediately after renal transplantation.
TL;DR: RhuEPO in the immediate posttransplantation period seems to have no relevant clinical impact on the correction of anemia, and the use of RhuEpo in the posttrans transplantation period should be limited to high-risk patients.

TL;DR: DGF, renal function at M12, and anemia at M6 were independent risk factors for still having anemia after renal transplant, and the prevalence of PTA was 25% at M 12.
