Subsequent kidney transplant after pediatric heart transplant: Prevalence and risk factors.
American Journal of Transplantation 2024 Februrary 30
Pediatric heart failure and transplantation carry associated risks for kidney failure and potential need for kidney transplant following pediatric heart transplantation (KT/pHT). This retrospective, United Network of Organ Sharing study of 10,030 pediatric heart transplants (pHTs) from 1987 to 2020 aimed to determine the incidence of waitlisting for and completion of KT/pHT, risk factors for KT/pHT, and risk factors for nonreceipt of a KT/pHT. Among pHT recipients, 3.4% were waitlisted for KT/pHT (median time of 14 years after pHT). Among those waitlisted, 70% received a KT/pHT, and 18% died on the waitlist at a median time of 0.8 years from KT/pHT waitlisting (median age of 20 years). Moderate-high sensitization at KT/pHT waitlisting (calculated panel reactive antibody, ≥ 20%) was associated with a lower likelihood of KT/pHT (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.67; 95% confidence interval, 0.47-0.95). Waitlisting for heart transplantation simultaneously with kidney transplant (adjusted hazard ratio, 3.73; 95% confidence interval, 2.01-6.92) was associated with increased risk of death on the KT/pHT waitlist. While the prevalence of KT/pHT is low, there is substantial mortality among those waitlisted for KT/pHT. These findings suggest a need to consider novel risk factors for nonreceipt of KT/pHT and death on the waitlist in prioritizing criteria/guidelines for simultaneous heart-kidney transplantation.
