OBSERVATIONAL STUDY
The Risk Factors of mTORi-Associated Posttransplant Proteinuria.
Transplantation Proceedings 2018 October
Treatment with mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors (mTORi) has been associated with an increased incidence of proteinuria after kidney transplantation as compared to other immunosuppressive agents. Proteinuria after mTORi use may occur in different clinical conditions and the precise mechanism remains unclear. The objective of this study was to investigate the related risk factors for proteinuria after mTORi treatment in kidney transplant recipients. This retrospective observational study population consisted of kidney transplant recipients followed up in a medical center in Southern Taiwan from January 1999 to April 2016. The baseline characteristics and transplantation-related profiles were collected at the time of enrollment. We examined risk factors for mTORi-associated proteinuria using a multivariate logistic regression analysis. P < .05 was considered as statistically significant. Hyperlipidemia and obesity at the initiation of mTORi treatment were strong predictors for proteinuria. Earlier identification of these risk factors may assist physicians in deciding the best candidate for mTORi conversion in order to optimize transplantation outcomes.
