Longitudinal Dynamics of Angiotensin II Type 1 Receptor Antibodies Around Kidney Transplantation and Their Impact on Clinical Outcomes
Longitudinal Dynamics of Angiotensin II Type 1 Receptor Antibodies Around Kidney Transplantation and Their Impact on Clinical Outcomes
This study aims to investigate the dynamics of Angiotensin II Type 1 Receptor Antibodies (AT1R-Ab) before and after kidney transplantation. The purpose is to understand how changes in AT1R-Ab levels may impact post-transplant kidney function and graft survival. Participants will include kidney transplant recipients, and their AT1R-Ab levels will be monitored over a one-year period. This research may help develop better predictive models for transplant outcomes, improving clinical decision-making for transplant physicians.
The study will be conducted as a prospective cohort study involving kidney transplant recipients. The participants will undergo monitoring of their AT1R-Ab levels at multiple time points before and after the transplantation, including 2 weeks, 3 months, and 1 year post-transplant. Data collected will include clinical information such as kidney function tests, graft survival rates, and post-transplant complications. The study will aim to correlate AT1R-Ab dynamics with clinical outcomes such as delayed graft function (DGF), graft loss, and creatinine levels.
Inclusion Criteria:
Eligible patients were those who had serum samples collected at pre-transplant and at 2 weeks, 3 months, and 1-year post-transplant, with a minimum follow-up of 1 year
Exclusion Criteria:
Exclusion criteria were simultaneous multi-organ transplantation and age younger than 18 years.
