Acute Kidney Injury in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Transplantation: A Meta-Analysis

Abstract: Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication following solid-organ transplantation. However, the epidemiology of AKI and mortality risk of AKI among patients undergoing cardiac transplantation is not uniformly described. We conducted this study to assess the incidence of AKI and mortality risk of AKI in adult patients after cardiac transplantation. Methods: A systematic review of EMBASE, MEDLINE, and Cochrane Databases was performed until June 2019 to identify studies evaluating the incidence… Show more

“…Previous meta-analyses also indicated the incidence rates of AKI in other types of surgeries such as total hip arthroplasty (6.3%) [ 15 ], cardiac transplantation (47.1%) [ 16 ], and liver transplantation (40.8%) [ 51 ]. The pooled incidence rates of AKI in patients with CHD ranged from 30 to 45%, which was relatively higher than those in other types of surgery.…”

“…In addition, AKI may cause prolonged mechanical ventilation and hospital stay and high morbidity and mortality rates [ 11 – 14 ]. Several previous systematic reviews and meta-analyses mainly focused on the incidence rate of AKI in patients who had undergone total hip arthroplasties [ 15 ] or cardiac transplantation [ 16 ], but no meta-analysis of pooled incidence rates of AKI in patients with CHD from relevant studies has been reported yet.…”

“…The in‐hospital mortality was 4.3%, with the odds ratio of 4.93 ( P < .001). AKI has also been reported to increase the mortality in several conditions, such as critical illness, acute coronary syndrome, solid organ/hematologic transplantation, cirrhosis, stroke and cardiac surgery 26‐34 . In addition, greater degree of resource utilisation, including renal replacement therapy, invasive/non‐invasive mechanical ventilation support and blood transfusion has been correlated with AKI.…”

“…However, patients who develop severe AKI frequently receive renal replacement therapy (RRT) as a salvage treatment. The need for RRT has been reported to be one of the most important predictors of a poor prognosis after HTx [13]. Although some clinical outcomes associated with AKI requiring RRT have been described, its impact on long-term survival has not been addressed.…”
