Percentage of hypochromic red blood cells is an independent risk factor for mortality in kidney transplant recipients.

摘要: There are no published studies on the associations between anemia or iron status parameters and important long-term outcomes in kidney transplant recipients (KTR). We prospectively studied 438 KTR from a large clinic for all-cause mortality allograft loss. Hemoglobin (serum iron, transferrin, transferrin saturation, ferritin, percentage of hypochromic red blood cells [%HRBC]) were assessed at baseline as demographic, clinical laboratory characteristics. The Austrian Dialysis Transplant Registry Eurotransplant database used to ascertain immunological transplantation-related death rejection. Cox proportional hazard models analyses. Over 7.8 years follow-up, 129 deaths (29.5%) occurred 208 grafts (47.5%) lost. From multivariate analyses, we found that (hemoglobin 10% had twice risk (HR: 2.06; 95%CI: 1.12-3.79) compared patients with HRBC <5%. Neither associated In conclusion, %HRBC was an independent factor KTR, while other not risk. Larger association these warranted.
