Popis: | Neutrophils are mediators of ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury following kidney transplantation (kTx). Leukocyte elastase (LE) complex with alpha(1)protease inhibitor (LE-alpha(1)PI) is a marker of neutrophil degranulation. The aim of this study was to evaluate LE-alpha(1)PI as a marker of I/R kidney damage and to search for correlations between leukocyte activation and post-transplant complications.Plasma and urine LE-alpha(1)PI were estimated in 55 deceased-donor kidney graft recipients on postoperative days (POD) 1, 3 and 7, as well as in the late post-transplant period.The plasma LE-alpha(1)PI level peaked on POD 1 after kTx, and the urine LE-alpha(1)PI peaked on POD 3. On POD 1 and POD 3, the urine LE-alpha(1)PI levels were higher in delayed graft function (DGF) patients than in patients with immediate graft function (IGF: P0.001 and P0.003, respectively). Urine LE-alpha(1)PI excretion on POD 1 was significantly higher in patients with longer cold ischaemia time (CIT) than in patients with shorter CIT, P0.002. Multivariate regression model revealed two factors influencing the occurrence of early acute rejection-urine LE-alpha(1)PI complex on POD 3 and human leukocyte antigen (HLA) mismatches. There was a significant association between the plasma LE-alpha(1)PI on POD 3 and serum creatinine level 6 and 12 months after kTx (r(2) 0.24; P0.005 and 0.19; P0.005, respectively).This study is the first presentation of a simple, non-invasive measurement of neutrophil activation after kTx. It also demonstrates a strong correlation between the early post-transplant LE-alpha(1)PI complex level and kidney graft function. |
