Renal Diseases and Glomerulopathies

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease is the most common hereditary disorder resulting in end-stage renal disease that can affect other organs besides kidneys. Extrarenal involvement may increase mortality and morbidity. Approximately 50% of patients with this disorder require renal transplant. Posttransplant complications have been reported to be equal in these patients versus other recipients. We conducted this study to determine and compare characteristics and outcomes of transplanted patients with this disease versus other recipients at the only transplant center in southern Iran.Detailed data of patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease were collected from medical records from the Shiraz Organ Transplantation Center. We also gathered data on a matched control group of transplant recipients who had end-stage renal disease due to other reasons, including other congenital kidney diseases and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Medical records of patients before and after transplant were reviewed. Statistical analyses were performed with SPSS software version 19 (Chicago, IL, USA).We collected data from 2002 to 2012 on 101 patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease and 100 control patients, including 74 female (36.8%) and 127 male patients (63.2%). Average duration of pretransplant dialysis was 14.9 ± 10.3 months in study patients and 12.8 ± 8.1 months in control patients. Rejection rate was statistically greater in recipients with this disease (30 patients; 68%) versus controls (14 patients; 32%) (P = .010).Short- and long-term survival rates of patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease were not statistically different from control patients. However, graft survival was significantly lower. In short- and long-term follow-up of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease patients, hemoglobin and hematocrit levels were slightly higher than those of the control group. Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease is not a risk factor for posttransplant diabetes mellitus.
