Influence of pretransplant dialysis modality on the change of lymphocyte subset populations and acute rejection rates after renal transplantation

Abstract: Background : The influence of dialysis modality on the acute rejection (AR) rate after renal transplantation is controversial. We investigated whether the pretransplant dialysis modality correlated with the lymphocyte subset populations and the incidence of AR after renal transplantation. Methods : Thirty-eight first living renal transplant recipients, consisting of 22 patients on pretransplant hemodialysis (HD) and 16 patients on pretransplant peritoneal dialysis (PD), were studied. Peripheral blood samples w… Show more

“…Studies among renal transplant recipients, suggested a different immune profile according to patients' previous dialysis modalities, specifically more sustained inflammation and lymphocyte activation/exhaustion in HD compared to CAPD patients. 27,28 Those results come to agreement with our own findings concerning the higher frequency of CD4CD28null and CD8CD28null cells in HD compared to CAPD patients. Although it would be very interesting to search for the possible beneficial effect of kidney transplantation in these T-cell subtypes and the IRP of CKD patients, little is known, as there are no prospective studies focused on the estimation of these parameters.…”

“…Hence, the arising question of whether peritoneal dialysis could possibly have a potential benefit comparing to HD, regarding cardiovascular risk and chronic inflammation, although premature, yet exists and seeks for an answer. Studies among renal transplant recipients, suggested a different immune profile according to patients' previous dialysis modalities, specifically more sustained inflammation and lymphocyte activation/exhaustion in HD compared to CAPD patients 27,28 . Those results come to agreement with our own findings concerning the higher frequency of CD4CD28null and CD8CD28null cells in HD compared to CAPD patients.…”

“…On the other hand, some reported the opposite conclusion 2. A difference in the immune status between HD and PD patients was also reported by many authors 6–8. Recently, the acute rejection rate has been found to be very low, being estimated to be 14% in this institution (data not shown), with the administration of the standard 4 immunosuppressive drugs; tacrolimus or cyclosporine, mycophenolate mofetil, basiliximab, and steroids.…”

“…The type of dialysis is known to have a range of effects on the immune response (19). Mild monocytosis and lymphopenia are more prevalent in patients receiving HD compared with those in PD, and these could be responsible for the higher rate of acute rejection episodes in the early stages following renal transplantation in patients in HD (20). Moreover, patients in HD are more prone to infections and to an inadequate response to vaccinations (21), and severe lymphopenia has been shown to be a predictor of mortality in these patients (19).…”
