Background: Post-transplantation diabetes mellitus (PTDM) is associated with a higher risk of mortality and graft loss. The reported incidence of PTDM after kidney transplantation (KT) varies from 10% to 74% and varies by country and ethnicity. There are few reports of nationwide cohort studies on PTDM incidence and related factors in Korea. The purpose of this study was to evaluate incidence of PTDM and related factors within 1 year after KT in Korea.
Methods: The KoreaN cohort study for Outcome in patients With Kidney Transplantation (KNOW-KT) enrolled 1080 recipients from July 2012 to August 2016. This study included 723 recipients, excluding 273 patients with pretransplant DM and 84 patients who were lost from follow-up within 1 year after KT.
Results: Among 723 recipients, 85 (11.8%) recipients were diagnosed and treated with PTDM. Recipient age, HLA mismatches, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), waist-hip ratio (WHR), and use of prednisolone were significantly higher in PTDM group than the nondiabetic group. In the multivariable logistic regression analysis, independent risk factors for PTDM were older recipient age, higher WHR, and HbA1c before KT.
Conclusion: The incidence of PTDM was 11.8% in a nationwide Korean cohort study. The factors related to the development of PTDM within 1 year after KT were older recipient age and higher WHR, and HbA1c levels before KT. In recipients with high WHR, it is important to control pretransplant abdominal obesity to prevent PTDM after KT.

The Association of Epstein-Barr Virus Donor and Recipient Serostatus With Outcomes After Kidney Transplantation : A Retrospective Cohort Study.
Ann Intern Med

Renal-Electrolyte Division, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (M.C.-P., R.B.M., C.M.P.).
Background: Prior studies indicate that 1% to 4% of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-seronegative recipients of EBV-seropositive donor (EBV D+/R-) kidneys develop posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD). However, these estimates are based on limited data that lack granularity.
Objective: To determine the associations between pretransplant EBV D+/R- and recipient EBV-seropositive status (R+) and the outcomes of PTLD and graft and patient survival among adult kidney transplant recipients.

Hepatorenal syndrome-acute kidney injury (HRS-AKI) occurs in the setting of advanced chronic liver disease, portal hypertension, and ascites. HRS-AKI is found in ∼20% of patients presenting to the hospital with AKI, but it may coexist with other causes of AKI and/or with preexisting chronic kidney disease, thereby making the diagnosis challenging. Novel biomarkers such as urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin may be useful.

Living-donor kidney transplantation is the preferred treatment for kidney failure. In the United States, rates of living kidney donation have been stagnant, which is partly related to concerns over medical and financial risks. Recent research has better characterized the risks of living kidney donation, although the field is limited by a lack of robust registries.

Optimizing the long-term care and follow-up of living kidney donors (LKDs) has been challenging, and prior LKDs have reported suboptimal healthcare experiences. Long-term care of LKDs is largely undertaken by primary care practitioners such as family physicians (FPs). We conducted a cross-sectional survey of Canadian FPs (n = 151).

Background: Despite an epidemic of end-stage kidney disease in the Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population, disparities in access to kidney transplantation persist. The journey to a successful kidney transplant is long, with an initial suitability assessment required before waitlist-specific activities begin. In an Aboriginal Community Controlled renal service, we aimed to: (i) design and implement a continuous quality improvement (CQI) approach to transplant suitability assessment, (ii) provide transplant suitability assessments for all patients of the service, (iii) describe what temporary contraindications to kidney transplantation should be the focus of health service improvements, (iv) explore participant experiences with the suitability assessment process, and (v) use our findings to inform pre- and post-transplant model of care development within Kimberley Renal Services.
