“…However, in the early phase of kidney transplantation, both the waist circumference and the waist to hip ratio did not increase but rather decreased significantly. The trend for visceral fat distribution may be different in Caucasian recipients (20, 22). In view of this difference, the examination of the above indices is not sufficient to evaluate the body composition of Asian recipients within at least 1 yr of transplantation.…”

Kidney transplantation and accompanying medical conditions may result in changes in body composition. Such changes have been evaluated in Caucasian recipients, but not in Asian recipients. Herein, we conducted a study on Asian recipients because Asians have a different body composition from Caucasians. A total of 50 Asian recipients was enrolled as a prospective cohort. Using bioelectrical impedance analysis, body composition (muscle and fat mass) was assessed after 2 weeks (baseline), and at 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months following kidney transplantation. To find predictors related to changes, the data were analyzed by multivariate analysis using forward selection. All of the patients had good graft function during the study period. Patients gained approximately 3 kg within 1 yr of kidney transplantation. The proportion of muscle mass significantly decreased (Ptrend = 0.001) and the proportion of fat mass significantly increased over time (Ptrend = 0.002). The multivariate results revealed that male recipients, deceased donor type, and low protein intake were associated with an increase in fat mass and a decrease in muscle mass. The results from this study may help to investigate differences in body composition changes between races, as well as the factors related to these changes.

“…Particularly, in renal transplantation there are other determinants that may interfere with Cr metabolism such as corticosteroids, which have a direct catabolic effect [24] and cause a changed muscle mass ratio to total body weight [25] . Catabolic illnesses such as infection and acute rejection, and prolonged dialysis, can also be partly responsible [26] .…”

Kidney transplantation is the treatment of choice for endstage renal disease. The evaluation of graft function is mandatory in the management of renal transplant recipients. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR), is generally considered the best index of graft function and also a predictor of graft and patient survival. However GFR measurement using inulin clearance, the gold standard for its measurement and exogenous markers such as radiolabeled isotopes ( 51 Cr EDTA, 99m

“…El Haggan et al [14] compared changes in body composition by DEXA between renal transplant recipients who stopped prednisone by month 6 (n ¼ 28) and those who continued it throughout the 2-year observation period (n ¼ 10). They found that steroid treatment was associated with increased total and central body fat accumulation.…”
