e19577 Background: Post Transplant Lymphoproliferative Disorder (PTLD) is a rare but severe complication following renal transplant. This study aims to explore the treatment modalities, histological types, and risk factors related to PTLD. Methods: Following the PRISMA guideline, we searched the literature on PubMed, Cochrane, Embase & clinicaltrials.gov. A total of 1741 articles were screened and 16 studies were included. Results: We reviewed 275915 adult patients who underwent renal transplantation out of which 2484 (0.9%) patients developed PTLD. Data for gender shows that 61.1% were males and 38.9% females. 576/2484 (23%) cases were EBV positive post-transplant. Seven studies showed the median duration from transplant to the development of PTLD was 80 months (5m-22yrs). Monomorphic PTLD was reported in 585 cases as the most common histological type. 5 studies suggested mortality due to PTLD was 41.38%. OS at 5 and 10 years was 55% and 41% respectively. Conclusions: Our study shows that PTLD is a rare complication after renal transplant which was more common in males. EBV did not show association with PTLD. Monomorphic is the most common histological type of PTLD after renal transplant. Our results show that it is associated with significantly high mortality. [Table: see text]

Abstract Background Non-traditional cardiovascular risk factors, including calcium and phosphate derangement, may play a role in mortality in renal transplant. The data regarding this effect are conflicting. Our aim was to assess the impact of calcium and phosphate derangements in the first 90 days post-transplant on allograft and recipient outcomes. Methods We performed a retrospective cohort review of all-adult, first renal transplants in the Republic of Ireland between 1999 and 2015. We divided patients into tertiles based on serum phosphate and calcium levels post-transplant. We assessed their effect on death-censored graft survival and all-cause mortality. We used Stata for statistical analysis and did survival analysis and spline curves to assess the association. Results We included 1525 renal transplant recipients. Of the total, 86.3% had hypophosphataemia and 36.1% hypercalcaemia. Patients in the lowest phosphate tertile were younger, more likely female, had lower weight, more time on dialysis, received a kidney from a younger donor, had less delayed graft function and better transplant function compared with other tertiles. Patients in the highest calcium tertile were younger, more likely male, had higher body mass index, more time on dialysis and better transplant function. Adjusting for differences between groups, we were unable to show any difference in death-censored graft failure [phosphate = 1.14, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.92–1.41; calcium = 0.98, 95% CI 0.80–1.20] or all-cause mortality (phosphate = 1.10, 95% CI 0.91–1.32; calcium = 0.96, 95% CI 0.81–1.13) based on tertiles of calcium or phosphate in the initial 90 days. Conclusions Hypophosphataemia and hypercalcaemia are common occurrences post-kidney transplant. We have identified different risk factors for these metabolic derangements. The calcium and phosphate levels exhibit no independent association with death-censored graft failure and mortality.

Introduction: Post-transplant lymphoproliferations (PTL) are a severe complication of solid organ transplants. Their locations can be extra-nodal. Observation: The diagnosis and management of a non-Hodgkin's plasmablastic lymphoma of mandibular localization affecting a 66-year-old kidney transplanted patient are reported here. Comment: The main risk factors for non-Hodgkin lymphoma are immunosuppression and infection with Epstein-Barr virus. Clinical and radiographic examinations, which are not specific, must be supplemented by a histological examination. Treatment which is not consensual will most often consist of a reduction in immunosuppression coupled with chemotherapy. Conclusion: Despite a constant evolution in the incidence and clinical picture of post-transplant lymphomas, the role of the dentist remains essential in the early detection of lesions.

Abstract. Whether the high incidence of ischemic heart disease (IHD) among renal transplant patients can be attributed to the same risk factors that have been identified in the general population is unclear. The risk for major IHD events occurring >1 yr after transplantation among 1124 transplant recipients was estimated by using the risk calculated from the Framingham Heart Study (FHS). The FHS risk predicted IHD (relative risk, 1.28; 95% confidence interval, 1.20 to 1.40; P < 0.001); however, the FHS risk tended to underestimate the risk of IHD for renal transplant recipients. This was largely attributable to increased risks associated with diabetes mellitus and, to a lesser extent, age and cigarette smoking for renal transplant recipients. For men, the relative risks for diabetes mellitus were 2.78 (1.73 to 4.49) and 1.53 for the transplant recipient and FHS populations, respectively; the relative risks for age (in years) were 1.06 (1.04 to 1.08) and 1.05, respectively, and those for smoking were 1.95 (1.20 to 3.19) and 1.69, respectively. For women, the relative risks for diabetes mellitus were 5.40 (2.73 to 10.66) and 1.82, respectively. There was a tendency for the risk associated with cholesterol levels to be higher for transplant recipients, compared with the FHS population, but the risks associated with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and BP appeared to be comparable. Independent of these and other risk factors, the adjusted risk of IHD for the transplant recipient population has decreased. Compared with the era before 1986, transplantation between 1986 and 1992 was associated with a lower relative risk of 0.60 (0.39 to 0.92); transplantation after 1992 was associated with an even lower relative risk of 0.27 (0.11 to 0.63) for IHD. Of concern was the fact that dihydropyridine calcium channel antagonists were associated with an increased risk for IHD (relative risk, 2.26; 95% confidence interval, 1.24 to 4.12; P = 0.008), and this association was independent of other antihypertensive agents and risk factors. Therefore, although the FHS risk predicts IHD after renal transplantation, it tends to underestimate the risks, especially the risk associated with diabetes mellitus. The unexpected finding that dihydropyridine calcium channel antagonists were associated with an increased IHD risk merits further evaluation.

Abstract Background Mitral annular calcification (MAC) is associated with increased risk of major adverse cardiac events. We hypothesized that MAC, identified on a pretransplant transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), is predictive of cardiac events following renal transplantation (RT). Methods In a retrospective cohort of consecutive RT recipients, pretransplant MAC presence and severity were determined on TTE performed within 1 year prior to transplant. MAC severity was quantified based on the circumferential MAC extension relative to the mitral valve annulus. Post-transplant cardiac risk was assessed using the sum of risk factors (range: 0–8) set forth by the American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology Foundation consensus statement on the assessment of RT candidates. Subjects underwent pretransplant stress single-photon emission computed tomography myocardial perfusion imaging and followed for post-transplant composite outcome of cardiac death or myocardial infarction (CD/MI). Results Among 336 subjects (60.5% men; mean age 52 ± 12 years), MAC was present in 78 (23%) patients. During a mean follow-up of 3.1 ± 1.9 years, a total of 70 events were observed. Patients with MAC had a higher event rate compared with those without MAC (34.6% versus 17.8%, log-rank P = 0.001). There was a stepwise increase in CD/MI risk with increasing MAC severity (P for trend = 0.002). MAC-associated risk remained significant after adjusting for sex, duration of dialysis, sum of risk factors, ejection fraction and perfusion abnormality burden, providing an incremental prognostic value to these parameters (Δχ2 =4.63; P = 0.031). Conclusion Among RT recipients, the burden of pretransplant MAC is an independent predictor of post-transplant risk of CD/MI. MAC should be considered in the preoperative assessment of RT candidates.
