Background: The incidence of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) and its significance in kidney transplant recipients is not well established. We conducted this systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the incidence of and complications from IBD in adult kidney transplant recipients. Methods: Eligible articles were searched through Ovid MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library from inception through April 2020. The inclusion criteria were adult kidney transplant patients with reported IBD. Effect estimates from the individual studies were extracted and combined using the fixed-effects model when I2 ≤ 50% and random-effects model when I2 > 50%. Results: of 641 citations, a total of seven studies (n = 212) were included in the systematic review. The mean age was 46.2 +/− 6.9 years and up to 51.1% were male. The mean duration of follow-up was 57.8 +/− 16.8 months. The pooled incidence of recurrent IBD was 27.6% (95% CI, 17.7–40.5%; I2 0%) while the pooled incidence of de novo IBD was 18.8% (95% CI, 10.7–31.0%; I2 61.3%). The pooled incidence of post-transplant IBD was similar across subgroup analyses. Meta-regression analyses showed no association between the incidence of IBD and age, male sex, and follow-up duration. For post-transplant complications, the pooled incidence of post-transplant infection was 4.7% (95% CI, 0.5–33.3%; I2 73.7%). The pooled incidence of graft rejection and re-transplantation in IBD patients was 31.4% (95% CI, 14.1–56.1%; I2 76.9%) and 30.4% (95% CI, 22.6–39.5%; I2 0%). Conclusion: Recurrent and de novo IBD is common among kidney transplant recipients and may result in adverse outcomes.

Abstract Background Immunosuppressed patients such as kidney transplant recipients (KTs) have increased mortality risk in the setting of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The role and management of chronic immunosuppressive therapies during COVID-19 must be characterized. Methods Herein, we report the follow-up of a cohort of 47 KTs admitted at two Spanish Kidney Transplant Units, who survived COVID-19. The impact of the management of immunosuppression during COVID-19 on graft function and immunologic events was evaluated. Results At least one immunosuppressive agent was withdrawn in 83% of patients, with antimetabolites being the most frequent. Steroids were generally not stopped and the dose was even increased in 15% of patients as part of the treatment of COVID-19. Although immunosuppressive drugs were suspended during a median time of 17 days, no rejection episodes or de novo donor-specific antibodies were observed up to 3 months after discharge, and no significant changes occurred in calculated panel reactive antibodies. Acute graft dysfunction was common (55%) and the severity was related to tacrolimus trough levels, which were higher in patients receiving antivirals. At the end of follow-up, all patients recovered baseline kidney function. Conclusions Our observational study suggests that immunosuppression in KTs hospitalized due to COVID-19 could be safely minimized.
