BACKGROUND: Late-onset renal failure is being increasingly recognized as a complication in patients undergoing liver transplantation for hepatitis C virus (HCV). However, its precise incidence, predisposing risk factors, and impact on outcome after liver transplantation, have not been defined. METHODS: The development of late-onset renal failure (defined as serum creatinine persistently >2.0 mg/dl, occurring more than 6 months posttransplant) was assessed in 120 consecutive liver transplant recipients who survived at least 6 months after transplantation. Fifty-seven percent (68/120) of the patients had undergone transplantation for liver disease due to HCV. The median follow-up was 5 years. RESULTS: Late-onset renal failure developed in 28% (33/120)of the patients. Posttransplant alcohol use (P=0.0001), posttransplant diabetes (P=0.0042), and recurrent HCV hepatitis (P=0.019) were significantly associated with late onset renal failure. In multivariate analysis, alcohol use (O.R. 10.7, 95%; CI 2.4-35.9, P=0.001) and diabetes (O.R. 2.1, 95%; CI 1.1-9.9, P=.03) were independently significant predictors of late onset renal failure. When only patients transplanted for HCV were analyzed, posttransplant alcohol use (P=0.004) was the only significant independent predictor of late-onset renal failure. HCV genotype 1b, as compared with other HCV genotypes, was associated with a higher rate of late-onset renal failure in patients with HCV; 70% of the patients with genotype 1b versus 32% of those with 1a and 33% of those with 2b, developed late onset renal failure (P=0.03). At a median follow up of 5 years, mortality in patients with HCV with late-onset renal failure was 52% as compared with 2% in those without renal failure (P=.0001). CONCLUSION: Late-onset renal failure in patients with HCV portended a grave outcome. Alcohol use was an independent predictor of late-onset renal failure in patients with HCV and represents a potentially modifiable risk factor for late-onset renal failure in these patients. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Chronic kidney disease is associated with increased mortality among nonrenal organ transplant recipients. End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is a serious complication after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). It is unclear if the outcomes of these individuals are different from nontransplant patients requiring dialysis or a kidney transplant. METHODS: We report the incidence of ESRD in OLT recipients and compare their outcomes to matched dialysis controls. We analyzed 4186 patients who received an OLT in Canada between January 1981 and December 2002 and 228 matched, nontransplant, chronic dialysis controls. RESULTS: The incidence of ESRD after OLT was 2.9% (n=120). The unadjusted mortality rate for those who required chronic dialysis was 49.2% compared with 26.8% in those who did not develop kidney failure (P<0.0001). The survival of OLT recipients on dialysis was lower than the matched chronic dialysis cohort (log-rank test, P=0.01). A kidney transplant was performed in 24% of the OLT recipients and 21% of the matched dialysis cohort, and their overall survival was similar. The OLT patients who remained on dialysis had a significantly lower survival when compared with matched dialysis patients who did not receive a kidney transplant (log-rank test, P=0.0002). CONCLUSIONS: Mortality was greater for OLT recipients on dialysis than would be expected from a matched, nontransplant, dialysis cohort. Kidney transplantation may abrogate some of this increased mortality risk. 相似文献

Chronic renal dysfunction after liver transplantation in adult patients: prevalence,risk factors,and impact on mortality 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

INTRODUCTION: Although chronic renal dysfunction (CRD) is a common complication among patients undergoing liver transplantation (OLT) its prevalence, risk factors, and impact on outcome have not been well defined. We aimed to assess the incidence of CRD, its associated risk factors and its impact on outcome. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The cohort of 289 consecutive adult first liver transplant patients with posttransplant follow-up longer than 6 months received cyclosporine in 230 patients (153 oil-based and 81 microemulsion formulation), tacrolimus in 55. CRD was defined as serum creatinine levels greater than 1.3 mg/dL for more than 6 months. RESULTS: After a mean follow-up of 67 months, 138 patients (47.8%) displayed CRD. The prevalence of CRD was 30.9%, 41.5%, and 38.9% at 1, 5, and 13 years after OLT, respectively. Twelve patients (4.1%) developed end-stage renal failure. Male gender, older recipient age, pretransplant renal dysfunction and hyperuricemia, posttransplant in-hospital renal dysfunction and hyperuricemia, and renal dysfunction during the first 6 months after OLT were each significantly associated with the development of CRD. Survival was significantly lower (63%) among liver transplant patients with CRD than those without this complication (71%, P=.024). CONCLUSIONS: CRD is an important cause of morbidity after OLT, although end-stage renal disease is infrequent. Because early renal dysfunction is associated with the development of CRD, and decreased long-term patient survival, efforts should be made to avoid early renal dysfunction after liver transplantation. 相似文献

Renal failure after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) is a common complication (ranging from 12% to 70%) associated with worse outcomes, particularly when it requires renal replacement therapy (RRT). Renal dysfunction is a common scenario among waiting list patients. It can lead to a worse prognosis after OLT, due to an increased incidence of postoperative renal failure. The aim of this study was to analyze the incidence of renal failure after OLT, its relationship to pretransplant renal dysfunction, and its impact on outcomes. We analyzed data collected prospectively from 152 consecutive OLTs in 139 patients performed by the same team from March 2003 to November 2007. Exclusion criteria for 34 cases included transplantation due to acute liver failure, combined liver-kidney transplantation, retransplantation, and patients who died up to 2 days posttransplantation. Based on creatinine clearance (CCr) calculated at the time of OLT, the 118 patients were classified in two groups: group I, normal pre-OLT renal function (CCr > or = 70 mL/min) versus group II, pre-OLT renal failure (CCr < 70 mL/min). Each group was analyzed according to the development of post-OLT renal failure, being classified as subgroup A (normal renal function post-OLT), subgroup B (mild renal impairment post-OLT-serum creatinine level between 2.0 and 3.0 mg/dL or doubled basal value up to 3.0 mg/dL) versus subgroup C (severe renal impairment post-OLT-serum creatinine level > or = 3.0 mg/dL or utilization of RRT). The overall incidence of post-OLT renal impairment was 41.52% with RRT in 22 patients (18.64%). Group II patients showed a greater incidence of post-OLT renal failure when compared with other patients (P < .05), but without a statistical difference when compared according to RRT requirement. Comparison of average hospital stay was similar between groups I and II, and also among its subgroups (A, B, and C, respectively). There was no statistical difference in early (30-day) and 1-year survival rates between groups I and II. Comparing all subgroups for early and 1-year survival, we observed that patients who developed severe renal failure post-OLT (subgroups I-C and II-C) showed worse outcomes compared with other patients (subgroups I-A, I-B, II-A, and II-B), respectively 95.29% versus 69.69% and 86.95% versus 41.66% for early and 1-year survivals (P < .001). In conclusion, our findings suggested that patients who developed severe renal failure post-OLT, independent of pretransplant renal function, showed worse outcomes. 相似文献

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is becoming the most common indication for liver retransplantation (ReLTx). This study was a retrospective review of the medical records of liver transplant patients at our institution to determine factors that would identify the best candidates for ReLTx resulting from allograft failure because of HCV recurrence. The patients were divided into 2 groups on the basis of indication for initial liver transplant. Group 1 included ReLTx patients whose initial indication for LTx was HCV. Group 2 included patients who received ReLTx who did not have a history of HCV. We defined chronic allograft dysfunction (AD) as patients with persistent jaundice (> 30 days) beginning 6 months after primary liver transplant in the absence of other reasons. HCV was the primary indication for initial orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) in 491/1114 patients (44%) from July 1996 to February 2004. The number of patients with AD undergoing ReLTx in Groups 1 and 2 was 22 and 12, respectively. The overall patient and allograft survival at 1 year was 50% and 75% in Groups 1 and 2, respectively (P = .04). The rates of primary nonfunction and technical problems after ReLTx were not different between the groups. However, the incidence of recurrent AD was higher in Group 1 at 32% versus 17% in Group 2 (P = .04). Important factors that predicted a successful ReLTx included physical condition at the time of ReLTx (P = .002) and Child-Turcotte-Pugh score (P = .008). In conclusion, HCV is associated with an increased incidence of chronic graft destruction with a negative effect on long-term results after ReLTx. The optimum candidate for ReLTx is a patient who can maintain normal physical activity. As the allograft shortage continues, the optimal use of cadaveric livers continues to be of primary importance. The use of deceased donor livers in patients with allograft failure caused by HCV remains a highly controversial issue. 相似文献

The aim of the current study was to clarify whether recurrence of hepatitis C (HCV) infection affects biliary complications after liver transplantation (OLT), with special reference to late biliary anastomotic strictures (LBAS). We reviewed 665 consecutive adult OLT recipients with a choledochocholedochostomy without T-tube placement between 1990 and 2005. Biliary anastomotic stricture was confirmed by ERCP. The LBAS was defined as stricture that occurred 30 days or more after OLT. Recurrence of HCV was diagnosed by histological examination using liver biopsy specimen and confirmed by the presence of HCV-RNA. Early HCV recurrence was defined as recurrence that occurred within 6 months after OLT; LBAS occurred in 54 patients (8% of total). Mean duration from OLT to occurrence of LBAS was 6.9 months (1-44 months). Patients with HCV infection had higher occurrence of LBAS than did non-HCV patients (11% vs 5%, P = .0093). Among HCV patients, those with early HCV recurrence had exclusively high rate of LBAS (16%). In multivariate analyses, early recurrence of HCV (P < .001, relative risk [RR] 6.4), as well as occurrence of HAT (P = .0018, RR 8.0), and prolonged CIT (P = .034, RR 3.3) were independent risk factors affecting LBAS. In conclusion, patients with HCV infection have increased occurrence of LBAS after OLT. Additionally, early recurrence of HCV contributes to a higher rate of LBAS. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Clinically, liver dysfunction in renal transplant recipients is related to hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. The contribution of parvovirus B19 (B19) to liver disease in renal transplant recipients has not been studied. Here we present the association of liver dysfunction with or without the coinfection of B19, HBV, and HCV after renal transplantation. METHODS: We used enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to identify B19, HBV, and HCV infections in serum samples taken from 144 renal transplant recipients before transplantation and at 12 and 24 months after transplantation. After each patient had fasted for 12 hr, blood was taken for measurement of aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase monthly for at least 6 months. RESULTS: Liver dysfunction developed at the significantly higher incidence of 47% in the anti-HCV(+) patients compared with 6% in the noninfected group (P<0.0001). HBV infection had no impact on the incidence of liver dysfunction in renal transplant recipients. A higher incidence of liver dysfunction was found in 42% of B19 IgG(+)IgM(-) group patients compared with 13% of the B19 IgG(+)IgM(+) group (P=0.0051) and 9.5% of the B19 IgG(-)IgM(-) group (P=0.0003). A B19 polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay revealed significantly higher liver dysfunction in 29% of B19 PCR(+) group patients compared with 13.6% of B19 PCR(-) patients (P=0.0419). Patients who were anti-HCV(+) and B19 PCR(+) had a significantly higher incidence of liver dysfunction than B19 PCR(-) patients (P=0.002). CONCLUSIONS: Chronic B19 infection and HCV infection, both separately and in combination, increase the incidence of liver dysfunction in renal transplant recipients. HBV infection does not seem to be independently or synergistically associated with liver dysfunction. 相似文献

Effect of donor age on survival of liver transplant recipients with hepatitis C virus infection 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
BACKGROUND: Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is the most common indication for orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) in the United States. Recent studies from selected centers have suggested that older donor age is associated with worse outcomes after transplantation for HCV. METHODS: We analyzed the United Network for Organ Sharing Liver Transplant Registry database from April 1987 to March 2003 to examine predictors of death or retransplantation in patients with HCV. Univariate models for each predictor were evaluated. Factors significant in the univariate model were used to develop a multivariable model. RESULTS: Of 6,956 patients meeting the inclusion/exclusion criteria, 1,527 (22.0%) died or received retransplants during the first year after transplant. Recipients with graft failure were older, had greater serum creatinine levels, and were more likely to require mechanical ventilation and hemodialysis before transplant. Donors of patients with graft failure were older and more likely to have diabetes mellitus. In the multivariable regression model, predictors of graft failure at 1 year were donor age, recipient age, recipient creatinine greater than 2 mg/dL, and the requirement for mechanical ventilation for the recipient. CONCLUSIONS: Both older donor age and older recipient age plus markers of severity of disease, including requirement for mechanical ventilation and renal insufficiency, are negatively associated with survival after liver transplantation. These factors should be considered when assessing OLT recipient and donor candidacy in patients with HCV. 相似文献

Most transplant centers consider severe pulmonary hypertension (PHT) to be an absolute contraindication for orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). We retrospectively examined the outcome of 24 patients with PHT (group 1) who underwent OLT compared with 24 matched patients (group 2) without PHT, who also underwent OLT. Based on right cardiac catheterization measurements made after the induction of anesthesia for OLT, PHT was defined as mild or moderate-to-severe if the mean pulmonary arterial pressure exceeded 25 or 35 mm Hg, respectively. The incidence of PHT was 9.8% (24/244); 21/24 PHT patients showed mild and 3/24 moderate PHT. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis did not show a significant difference between the two groups. The incidence of pulmonary infections was significantly greater in group 1 (P < .05). The duration of ventilation and intensive care unit stay was similar in the two groups. Echocardiography detected only the three moderate cases of PHT and not the twenty-one cases of mild PHT. Our analysis suggested that mild PHT was common and did not affect patient outcomes after OLT; moderate or severe PHT was uncommon. The two patients with moderate PHT survived OLT and did not succum to PHT during long-term follow-up. 相似文献

The aim of our study was to assess the long-term liver histology in renal transplant patients infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) who were treated with a cyclosporine-based regimen. Among 55 anti-HCV+/RNA+ patients, liver biopsies (LB) were requested every 3 to 4 years after transplantation: two LBs (n=55); three LBs (n=44); four LBs (n=10). Overall, the rate of liver fibrosis progression was 0.07+/-0.03 Metavir U/y. Only three patients out of 55 (5.4%) developed cirrhosis. Liver fibrosis remained stable throughout follow-up in 21 patients; increased in 21 patients; and improved in the remaining 13 patients. The incidence of posttransplant diabetes mellitus was low (9%). We concluded that HCV infection is not harmful to liver histology in more than 50% of renal transplant patients with grafts functioning more than 6 years. Cyclosporine might have beneficial effects on the natural course of HCV infection after renal transplantation. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to assess the possible association between posttransplant diabetes mellitus (DM) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in renal transplant recipients. This study included 124 patients who underwent renal transplantation between 1997 and 2002. Inclusion criteria were patients who were not diabetic prior to transplantation and posttransplant follow-up longer than 6 months. DM was defined as fasting blood glucose levels higher than 126 mg/dL on at least two occasions. HCV infection was detected using second- or third-generation ELISA methods and/or polymerase chain reactions for HCV-RNA. Twenty-five HCV positive (HCV+) patients were compared with 25 consecutive HCV negative (HCV-) transplant patients. Demographic and clinical data of the groups were compared. Posttransplantation DM was observed in 24% of the HCV+ patients. There were no statistical differences in age, gender, race, family history of DM, follow-up, or body mass index between the two groups. There was a higher prevalence of posttransplantation DM in HCV+ patients, but the difference did not reach statistical significance (24% vs 12%, P = NS). Alternatively, comparing patients of the two groups (n = 50) who did versus not develop DM, the incidence of posttransplantation DM was higher among HCV+ patients, but the difference did not reach statistical significance (66.6% vs 46.3%, P = NS). In conclusion, there was no association between HCV infection and the development of posttransplantation DM in this cohort of renal transplant recipients. However, there was a trend that suggested an association. 相似文献

Background
Renal insufficiency (RI) after liver transplantation (OLT) is associated with worse outcomes but the actual survival after RI ensues is not well described. We examined the survival of OLT recipients who developed moderate or severe RI or end-stage renal disease (ESRD), seeking to identify variables associated with these outcomes.Methods
Between 1993 and 2007, 731 patients underwent OLT. After excluding patients undergoing retransplantation, combined kidney-liver grafts, and those who died within 1 year, we had a cohort of 527 subjects whose basic demographic data were obtained. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) calculated (by MDRD4–Modification of Diet in Renal Disease 4–formula) at 3-month intervals in the first year and then at 6-month intervals. Moderate RI was defined as a GFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2; severe RI, GFR < 30; and ESRD by need for dialysis or renal transplantation. We determined survival from the point of developing RI. An analysis determined factors associated with survival.Results
Among 527 patients, 251 developed moderate (47.6%) and 40 (7.6%) severe RI as well as 40 (7.6%) with ESRD. Once RI ensued, the 5-year survivals for patients with moderate RI, severe RI or ESRD were 84.0%, 67.7%, and 48.5%, respectively. Five-year survival, for patients receiving a renal transplant was 100%. On multivariate Cox regression analysis, the only variables associated with time to death for patients with any RI were higher age at transplant (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.04, P = .02), higher creatinine at transplant (HR = 1.25, P = .01), pretransplant diabetes (HR = 2.34, P = .008), and transplantation in the Model for End-stage Liver Disease (MELD) era (HR = 0.15, P = .002).Conclusion
Development of severe RI or ESRD correlated with diminished survival. For patients with RI, age and creatinine at transplant, pretransplant diabetes, and transplantation in the pre-MELD era were associated with lower survival rates. Five-year survival for dialysis patients was somewhat higher than that previously reported but worse than that of subjects treated by renal transplantation. 相似文献15.

We used the United Network for Organ Sharing Database to determine the influence of antibody‐based induction therapy on patient and graft survival in orthotopic liver transplant (OLT) recipients with and without hepatitis C (HCV). We identified all initial OLT patients with HCV serology. Patients were divided into four groups: HCV positive without induction (17 362), HCV positive with induction (3479), HCV negative without induction (20 417) and HCV negative with induction (4357). Both HCV positive and negative patients who received induction did better than those who did not. For HCV positive patients, 5‐year patient survival was 70.8% versus 68.7% (p = 0.004) and graft survival was 65.2% versus 62.1% (p < 0.001). For HCV negative patients, 5‐year patient survival was 78.8% versus 76.7% (p < 0.001) and graft survival was 74.0% versus 70.8% (p < 0.001). On multivariate analysis, induction was associated with improved patient (HR = 0.91: p = 0.024) and graft (HR = 0.88: p < 0.001) survival in HCV positive patients and improved patient (HR = 0.87: p = 0.003) and graft survival (HR = 0.87: p < 0.001) in HCV negative patients. The benefit of induction occurred early and largely dissipated when patients with death within a year were censored. The benefit of induction therapy appeared most pronounced in patients with renal insufficiency or on organ‐perfusion support at transplant. 相似文献

Acute renal failure (ARF) after liver transplantation (OLT) is a common complication with severe impact on early and late prognosis of recipients. Factors predicting its incidence have not been fully identified due to the lack of a universal standard as well as the variance of data between transplant centers. To identify factors related to post-OLT ARF, we retrospectively collected materials on 89 patients, who underwent OLT from 1999 to 2001 in our center. Factors associated with post-OLT ARF were identified using univariate logistic regression. Significant factors were then entered into a multivariate logistic regression to identify factors independently associated with post-OLT ARF. Upon univariate analysis, intraoperative volume of blood transfusion (P = .041) and duration of operation (P = .005) were significant. ARF was associated with a poor prognosis (P < .001). Only duration of operation (P = .026) was an independent factor predicting the development of ARF. In conclusion, intraoperative volume of blood transfusion and duration of operation were factors contributing to post-OLT ARF in which the duration of the operation was an independent risk factor. The incidence of post-OLT ARF greatly increased recipient mortality in the early postoperative period. 相似文献

Acute renal failure (ARF) was a frequent complication after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) when ARF was defined by a calculated glomerular filtration rate decrease of >50% or by a doubled serum creatinine above 2.5 mg/dL within the first week after OLT. We analyzed 1352 liver transplant recipients in retrospective fashion with regard to the incidence, etiology, therapy, and outcome of ARF; 162 patients developed ARF within the first week after OLT (12%), among whom 157 patients (97%) were recompensated by postoperative day 28. Altogether 52 patients (32%) received an average of 6 hemodialysis treatments, excluding the 5 patients (3%) who developed end-stage renal failure. Risk factors for this complication included hepatorenal syndrome type II, a glomerular filtration rate of <50 mL/min, and a diagnosis of hepatitis C. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Renal dysfunction is a common complication after orthotopic heart transplantation (HT). The importance of factors other than exposure to immunosuppressive drugs is unclear. The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence and natural history of renal dysfunction following heart transplantation, and to evaluate a number of variables as risk factors for this condition. METHODS: We examined the creatinine levels at 1, 6, 12, 24, and 60 months in 262 consecutive heart transplant patients who survived at least 1 year. The potential risk factors included pre- and posttransplantation diabetes mellitus, arterial hypertension, and drugs used to control arterial hypertension. RESULTS: 17.2% of patients showed mild renal dysfunction (creatinine 1.5-2.5 mg/dL) and 1.9% moderate dysfunction (creatinine >2.5 mg/dL) at 1 month; 29.8% showed mild and 1.1% moderate dysfunction at 6 months; 33.2% showed mild and 1.9% moderate dysfunction at 1 year; 40% showed mild, 0.9% moderate and 0.4% severe dysfunction (requiring dialysis or renal transplantation) at 2 years; and 43.6% showed mild, 1.7% moderate and 0.9% severe dysfunction at 5 years. None of the conditions analyzed as possible risk factors showed a significant association with renal dysfunction except the use of diuretics. CONCLUSION: The incidence of renal dysfunction after orthotopic heart transplantation was 33.6% within the first year after transplant and 44% within the first five years, although more than 95% of cases were mild. The incidence increased with time after transplantation. Renal dysfunction seems likely to be multifactorial in origin, but no individual risk factors were identified. 相似文献

Combined liver kidney transplantation (LKT) can be successfully performed on patients with liver and renal failure; however, outcomes are inferior to liver transplantation alone (OLT). Our aim was to determine the indications for and outcome of LKT and whether patients with longer wait times required more frequent LKT versus OLT alone.We included 18/93 adults who underwent LKT from August 2007 to August 2010 for hepatitis C virus (HCV, n = 7), alcohol (n = 5), nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (n = 2), primary biliary sclerosis, polycystic kidney disease with liver involvement, hepatic adenomatosis, and ischemic hepatitis. Eleven were originally listed for LKT and 7 required listing for-kidney transplantation while awaiting OLT. Eight were on dialysis when first listed and 10 had a low glomerular filtration rate or known kidney disease.The mean calculated Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score for LKT was 31.2 ± 3.54. Seven had hepatocellular carcinoma in explants. Two patients had acute cellular kidney rejection that responded to treatment. Recurrence of HCV was documented in 5 patients within 6 months of LKT; 2/5 received HCV therapy (interferon and ribavirin) without renal allograft rejection. One-year liver graft/patient survival was 94% after LKT. One patient died at 6 months post LKT due to severe HCV recurrence. Last mean serum creatinine level was 1.35 ± 0.28 mg/dL for LKT patients.LKT is a safe procedure with favorable outcomes even in patients with a high MELD score. Transplantation of patients with a high MELD score due to regional variations in organ allocation results in additional use of kidneys by OLT patients. Improved organ allocation algorithms in OLT would help to reduce combined transplants, sparing more kidneys. 相似文献

Chronic liver disease and its complications are major problems in renal transplant recipients. Our aim was to elucidate the influence of hepatitis B, C virus infection on the long-term outcome of renal transplantation. Four hundred and seventy-seven patients who received renal transplantation between January 1984 and December 1999, and who were followed up at our hospital were enrolled. HBsAg was detected by the RIA method and anti-HCV Ab was assayed by the second-generation RIA kit. SGOT/ SGPT were checked every 3 months. Hepatoma was diagnosed by dynamic CT scan, elevated alpha-fetoprotein, hypervascularity by angiography and confirmed by pathological examination. The prevalence of HBV, HCV, coinfected HBV/HCV was 9.9% (n = 47), 28.5% ( n = 136), 3.1% (n = 15), respectively. The incidences of hepatoma in the HBV-/HCV-, HBV-/HCV+, HBV+/HCV-, HBV+/HCV+ groups were 1.4% (n = 4), 4.4% (n = 6), 6.4% (n = 3), 6.7% (n = 1), respectively (p = 0.114). The incidences of liver cirrhosis/hepatic failure were 3.2% (n = 9), 6.6% (n = 9), 21.3% (n = 10), 20% (n = 3), respectively (p < 0.001). The frequencies of chronic liver disease were 10.4% (n = 29), 45.6% (n = 62), 66% (n = 31), 80% (n = 12), respectively (p < 0.001). Patient and graft survival rates were lower in the HBV-infected group than in the other groups. Cox regression analysis revealed that HBV infection is likely an independent risk factor for patient mortality although the statistical significance was only borderline. Patients with HBV as well as HCV infection were not at risk of graft loss according to this model of analysis. Patients with HBV infection showed higher incidences of hepatoma, hepatic failure, graft failure and death. Therefore, HBV-infected patients who are candidates for renal transplantation should be carefully evaluated. It seems that HCV infection has little influence on the outcome of renal transplant recipients. A longer period of follow-up is needed to clarify the impact of HCV on renal transplant recipients. 相似文献
