Estimating the Contribution of Renal Function to Endothelial Dysfunction and Subclinical Inflammation with a Two-Cohort Study

Living kidney transplantation offers the best results for end-stage renal disease patients, but concerns about cardiovascular risk after nephrectomy for kidney donors have been raised. We aimed to estimate the contribution of renal function to endothelial dysfunction (ED) and subclinical inflammatio...

Sumario:Living kidney transplantation offers the best results for end-stage renal disease patients, but concerns about cardiovascular risk after nephrectomy for kidney donors have been raised. We aimed to estimate the contribution of renal function to endothelial dysfunction (ED) and subclinical inflammation in a non-interventional, prospective, multicenter, longitudinal study with two cohorts: living kidney donors and their transplant recipients (registered clinical trial ). The measured glomerular filtration rate (mGFR) by iohexol clearance, estimated GFR according to the CKD-EPI and MDRD-4 formulas, and levels of endothelial dysfunction (sVCAM-1, sICAM-1, E-selectin, von Willebrand Factor, pentraxin, and urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio) and subclinical inflammation biomarkers (sIL-6, sTNF-R1, sTNF-R2, sTWEAK, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein) were determined at baseline and 1-year follow-up. Fifty pairs of donors and recipients were recruited between 2015 and 2018. Among the endothelial dysfunction biomarkers, sVCAM-1 increased in donors and decreased in recipients (p.
