Abstract

BACKGROUND Tacrolimus pharmacokinetics in obese (Ob) patients has been poorly studied. In this article, the authors explored the impact of obesity on tacrolimus exposure in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) and estimated a more suitable initial dosage in this population. METHODS A retrospective, observational, monocentric case-control study was performed in obese KTRs (BMI > 30 kg/m2) who received tacrolimus between 2013 and 2017 (initial dose: 0.15 mg/kg/d) (actual weight). Nonobese (Nob) controls (BMI

Abstract

International audience; End stage kidney disease increase the risk of COVID-19 related death but how the kidney replacement strategy should be adapted during the pandemic is unknown. Chronic hemodialysis makes social distancing difficult to achieve. Alternatively, kidney transplantation could increase the severity of COVID-19 due to therapeutic immunosuppression and contribute to saturation of intensive care units. For these reasons, kidney transplantation was suspended in France during the first epidemic wave. Here, we retrospectively evaluated this strategy by comparing the overall and COVID-19 related mortality in kidney transplant recipients and candidates over the last three years. Cross-interrogation of two national registries for the period 1 March and 1 June 2020, identified 275 deaths among the 42812 kidney transplant recipients and 144 deaths among the 16210 candidates. This represents an excess of deaths for both populations, as compared with the same period the two previous years (mean of two previous years: 253 in recipients and 112 in candidates). This difference was integrally explained by COVID-19, which accounted for 44% (122) and 42% (60) of the deaths in recipients and candidates, respectively. Taking into account the size of the two populations and the geographical heterogeneity of virus circulation, we found that the excess of risk of death due to COVID-19 was similar for recipients and candidates in high viral risk area but four-fold higher for candidates in the low viral risk area. Thus, in case of a second epidemic wave, kidney transplantation should be suspended in high viral risk areas but maintained outside those areas, both to reduce the excess of deaths of candidates and avoid wasting precious resources.

Abstract

International audience; There are no studies which have compared the risk of severe Covid-19 and related mortality between transplant recipients and non-transplant patients. We enrolled two groups of patients hospitalized for Covid-19, i.e., kidney transplant recipients from the French Registry of Solid Organ Transplant (n=306) and a single-center cohort of non-transplant patients (n=795). An analysis was performed among subgroups matched for age and risk factors for severe Covid-19 or mortality. Severe Covid-19 was defined as admission (or transfer) to an intensive care unit, need for mechanical ventilation, or death.Transplant recipients were younger and had more comorbidities compared to non-transplant patients. They presented with higher creatinine levels and developed more episodes of acute kidney injury. After matching, the 30-day cumulative incidence of severe Covid-19 did not differ between KTR and non-transplant patients; however, 30-day Covid-19-related mortality was significantly higher in KTR (17.9% versus 11.4%, respectively, p=0.038). Age >60 years, cardiovascular disease, dyspnea, fever, lymphopenia, and C-reactive protein (CRP) were associated with severe Covid-19 in univariate analysis, whereas transplant status and serum creatinine levels were not. Age >60 years, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, CRP >60 mg/L, lymphopenia, kidney transplant status (HR=1.55), and creatinine level >115 µmol/L (HR=2.32) were associated with Covid-19-related mortality in univariate analysis. In multivariable analysis, cardiovascular disease, dyspnea, and fever were associated with severe disease, whereas age >60 years, cardiovascular disease, dyspnea, fever, and creatinine level>115 µmol/L retained their independent associations with mortality. Kidney transplant recipients had a higher Covid-19-related mortality compared to non-transplant hospitalized patients.

Abstract

Notwithstanding the ongoing coronavirus disease-2019 (Covid-19) pandemic, information on its clinical presentation and prognosis in recipients of a kidney transplant remain scanty. The aim of this registry-based observational study was to explore characteristics and clinical outcomes of recipients of kidney transplants included in the French nationwide Registry of Solid Organ Transplant Recipients with Covid-19. Covid-19 was diagnosed in symptomatic patients who had a positive PCR assay for SARS-CoV-2 or having typical lung lesions on imaging. Clinical and laboratory characteristics, management of immunosuppression, treatment for Covid-19, and clinical outcomes (hospitalization, admission to intensive care unit, mechanical ventilation, or death) were recorded. Risk factors for severe disease or death were determined. Of the 279 patients, 243 were admitted to hospital and 36 were managed at home. The median age of hospitalized patients was 61.6 years; most had comorbidities (hypertension, 90.1%; overweight, 63.8%; diabetes, 41.3%; cardiovascular disease, 36.2%). Fever, cough, dyspnea, and diarrhea were the most common symptoms on admission. Laboratory findings revealed mild inflammation frequently accompanied by lymphopenia. Immunosuppressive drugs were generally withdrawn (calcineurin inhibitors: 28.7%; antimetabolites: 70.8%). Treatment was mainly based on hydroxychloroquine (24.7%), antiviral drugs (7.8%), and tocilizumab (5.3%). Severe Covid-19 occurred in 106 patients (46%). Forty-three hospitalized patients died (30-day mortality 22.8%). Multivariable analysis identified overweight, fever, and dyspnea as independent risk factors for severe disease, whereas age over 60 years, cardiovascular disease, and dyspnea were independently associated with mortality. Thus, Covid-19 in recipients of kidney transplants portends a high mortality rate. Proper management of immunosuppression and tailored treatment of this population remain challenging., Graphical abstract

Abstract

BackgroundCoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an emerging infectious disease, related to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection. Few data are available in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD).MethodsWe conducted an observational cohort study of COVID-19 patients at 11 dialysis centres in two distinct districts of France to examine the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of COVID-19 in this population, and to determine risk factors of disease severity (defined as a composite outcome including intensive care unit admission or death) and mortality.ResultsAmong the 2336 patients enrolled, 5.5% had confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis. Of the 122 patients with a follow-up superior to 28 days, 37% reached the composite outcome and 28% died. Multivariate analysis showed that oxygen therapy on diagnosis and a decrease in lymphocyte count were independent risk factors associated with disease severity and with mortality. Chronic use of angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) (18% of patients) was associated with a protective effect on mortality. Treatment with azithromycin and hydroxychloroquine (AZT/HCQ) (46% of patients) were not associated with the composite outcome and with death in univariate and multivariate analyses.ConclusionsCOVID-19 is a severe disease with poor prognosis in patients with ESRD. Usual treatment with ARBs seems to be protective of critical evolution and mortality. There is no evidence of clinical benefit with the combination of AZT/HCQ.

Abstract

International audience; Background: Better understanding of the contribution of donor aging and comorbidity factors of expanded criteria donors (ECD) to the clinical outcome of a transplant is a challenge in kidney transplantation. We investigated whether the features of donor-derived stromal vascular fraction of perirenal adipose tissue (PRAT-SVF) could be indicative of the deleterious impact of the ECD microenvironment on a renal transplant. Methods: A comparative analysis of cellular components, transcriptomic and vasculogenic profiles was performed in PRAT-SVF obtained from 22 optimal donors and 31 ECD deceased donors. We then investigated whether these parameters could be associated with donor aging and early allograft dysfunction.Results: When compared with the PRAT-SVF of non-ECD donors, ECD PRAT-SVF displayed a lower proportion of stromal cells, a higher proportion of inflammatory NK cells. The global RNA sequencing approach indicated a differential molecular signature in the PRAT-SVF of ECD donors characterized by the over-expression of CXCL1 and IL1-beta inflammatory transcripts. The vasculogenic activity of PRAT-SVF was highly variable but was not significantly affected in marginal donors. Periorgan recruitment of monocytes/macrophages and NK cells in PRAT-SVF was associated with donor aging. The presence of NK cell infiltrates was associated with lower PRAT-SVF angiogenic activity and with early allograft dysfunction evaluated on day 7 and at 1 month post-transplant. Conclusions: Our results indicate that human NK cell subsets are differentially recruited in the periorgan environment of aging kidney transplants. We provide novel evidence that PRAT-SVF represents a non-invasive and timely source of donor material with potential value to assess inflammatory features that impact organ quality and function.

Abstract

Classically, kidney transplantation (KT) consists of heterotopic implantation of the renal graft in the iliac fossa with vascular anastomosis on the iliac vessel and reimplantation of the graft ureter in the bladder of the recipient. However, a wide range of variations exist in both vascular anastomosis and urinary diversion that the non-transplant surgeon should know. For any pelvic surgery in a KT patient, the non-transplant surgeon should preoperatively evaluate the anatomy of the graft, its vascularization and its urinary tract. The transplant ureter should be identified and secured by preoperative JJ stenting whenever needed. For any surgery, maintenance and control of both immunosuppressive treatment and renal function is crucial. The advice or even the assistance of a transplant surgeon should be required because any damage to vascularization or urinary drainage of the renal graft could have dramatic and definitive consequences on graft function.

Abstract

International audience; Cyst infection is a common complication of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Diagnosis is challenging with standard imaging techniques. We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of [F-18] fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography (18-FDG PET-CT) for the diagnosis of cyst infections among ADPKD patients, in comparison with computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). All APKD patients who underwent 18-FDG PET-CT for suspected cyst infection between 2006 and 2013 in a French teaching hospital were included. Diagnosis of cyst infection was retained a posteriori on an index of clinical suspicion. 18-FDG PET-CT findings were was considered to be positive in cases of cyst wall hypermetabolism. CT or MRI findings were were considered to be positive in cases of cyst wall thickening (and enhancement if contrast medium was injected) and infiltration of the adjacent fat. A control group of ADPKD patients with 18-FDG PET-CT performed for other reasons was included. Thirty-two 18-FDG PET-CT scans were performed in 24 ADPKD patients with suspected cyst infection. A diagnosis of cyst infection was retained in 18 of 32 cases: 14 with positive 18-FDG PET-CT findings, and four false negatives. There were no false positives and no hypermetabolism of cyst walls in nine ADPKD control patients. 18-FDG PET-CT had a sensitivity of 77%, a specificity of 100%, and a negative predictive value of 77%. 18-FDG PET-CT allowed a differential diagnosis in three patients. In contrast, CT had a sensitivity of 7% and a negative predictive value of 35% (p < 0.001 vs. 18-FDG PET-CT). Only eight MRI scans were performed. The diagnostic performance of 18-FDG PET-CT is superior to that of CT in cyst infections, for comparable radiation doses and with no injection of nephrotoxic contrast medium, in ADPKD patients.

Abstract

Introduction Durant la pandemie de COVID-19, peu d’informations concernant la presentation clinique et le pronostic de cette infection chez les patients transplantes d’organe ont ete rapportees. Description Nous avons mis en place un registre francais sous l’egide de la Societe francophone de transplantation pour recenser tous les cas de patients transplantes developpant une infection a SARS-CoV-2 a partir du 1er mars 2020. Methodes L’infection a ete diagnostiquee chez des patients avec un frottis positif en RT-PCR ou en presence de lesions pulmonaires typiques. Les caracteristiques cliniques et biologiques, la gestion de l’immunosuppression, le traitement du COVID-19 et l’evolution de la maladie ont ete colliges. La severite etait definie par : admission ou transfert en reanimation, ventilation mecanique ou deces. Resultats Sur les 279 patients transplantes renaux recenses dans le Registre, 243 ont ete admis a l’hopital et 36 ont ete pris en charge a domicile. L’âge des patients hospitalises etait de 61,6 ans et la plupart presentaient des comorbidites (hypertension : 90 % ; surpoids : 64 % ; diabete : 41 % ; maladies cardiovasculaires : 36 %). La fievre, la toux, la dyspnee et la diarrhee etaient les symptomes les plus frequents. Les anti-metabolites etaient interrompus dans 70,8 des cas. Le traitement a comporte de l’hydroxychloroquine dans 25 % des cas, un antiviral pour 7,8 % des patients et du tocilizumab chez 5,3 %. Des formes severes de COVID-19 sont survenues chez 106 patients (46 %). Quarante-trois patients sont decedes (taux de mortalite a 30 jours : 22,8 %). Une analyse multivariable a permis d’identifier le surpoids, la fievre et la dyspnee comme facteurs de risque independants de maladie severe, alors que l’âge > 60 ans, un antecedent de maladie cardiovasculaire et la dyspnee etaient independamment associes a la mortalite. Conclusion Les transplantes renaux developpant une infection a SARS-Cov-2 ont un taux de mortalite eleve. La bonne gestion de l’immunosuppression et une prise en charge adaptee restent un defi.

Abstract

Objectifs L’endothelium allogenique du donneur constitue une interface entre le donneur et le receveur. Le vieillissement et les facteurs de risques cardiovasculaires presents dans le microenvironnement de ces transplants issus de donneurs marginaux contribuent a l’inflammation endotheliale et a la senescence vasculaire et peuvent avoir un effet deletere sur la reponse immunitaire du receveur ainsi que la fonction du greffon. Methodes La fraction vasculaire stromale (SVF) du tissu adipeux peri-renal (PRAT-SVF) preleve chez le donneur a ete isolee apres digestion enzymatique. Les cellules progenitrices endotheliales (ECFC) ont ete isolees par selection immuno-magnetique (CD144 + ) a partir de la PRAT-SVF prelevee chez 2 donneurs marginaux et 2 optimaux. Ces cellules ont ete amplifiees en culture. Le profil phenotypique et transcriptionnel des ECFC a ete etudie en cytometrie de flux et en qRT-PCR. Ces ECFC ont ete utilisees comme cibles pour evaluer l’activite endotheliotoxique d’anticorps circulants de receveurs presentant un rejet humoral, ainsi que l’effet pro-senescent des facteurs paracrines presents dans le liquide de perfusion de transplants marginaux. Resultats Ces travaux apportent une premiere preuve de faisabilite de l’isolement des cellules endotheliales de donneurs issues de PRAT-SVF. Ces cellules presentent un potentiel clonogenique d’expansion en culture ainsi qu’une expression des antigenes endotheliaux et HLA. Nous apportons ici la preuve que ces ECFC de SVF, amplifiees en culture, sont des cibles pertinentes permettant le depistage chez le receveur d’anticorps circulants anti-donneur et le monitoring d’anticorps anti-ABO lors de la desensibilisation humorale lors des transplantations ABO-incompatibles. Ces cellules endotheliales ont montre un profil inflammatoire et senescent accru en reponse a une stimulation par le liquide de perfusion de donneurs marginaux, montrant l’effet deletere du microenvironnement paracrine propre aux donneurs a criteres elargis. Conclusion Ce travail identifie une nouvelle strategie non invasive, qui utilise les ECFC issues de la PRAT-SVF comme un modele d’etude permettant d’indexer la reponse d’anticorps anti-endotheliaux en transplantation renale, et d’evaluer l’impact des facteurs paracrines qui caracterisent les donneurs marginaux sur la vulnerabilite vasculaire associee a la moindre survie de ces transplants.

Abstract

Hepatitis E virus (HEV) genotype 3 is endemic in Europe and hyperendemic in southern France. Recent reports of a high prevalence of HEV RNA in blood donations and in culinary specialties from this geographical area confirmed the endemicity of HEV and sources of viral transmission in this geographical area. HEV causes acute and chronic hepatitis in solid organ transplant recipients. Since March 2012, we have implemented systematic HEV serological testing in our cohort of kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) in Marseille in southeastern France. The aim of our study was to assess HEV exposure in this cohort between March 2012 and May 2014. During these 27 months, we found that 39% of the patients who underwent kidney transplantation had an anti-HEV IgG response using a sensitive microplate enzyme immunoassay. This seroprevalence was approximately 43% at both 1 and 8 years after, using the same assay. In addition, systematic HEV serological testing detected 6 cases of HEV infection among 578 KTRs (1%) during the 27 months of the study, with 5 at an acute stage and 1 at a chronic stage. In conclusion, continuous HEV monitoring in this population is useful for better understanding the epidemiology of HEV in France, because these patients are a well-monitored population. Moreover, HEV monitoring in KTRs is clinically relevant because HEV represents a clinical threat in these patients. Nevertheless, HEV serological testing may be more fruitful for identifying HEV infections when performed in cases of biological liver abnormalities than when performed systematically.

Abstract

International audience; Background: Nocardiosis is a rare disease with polymorphic presentations. The epidemiology and clinical presentation could change with the increasing number of immunocompromised patients. Methods: The medical records and microbiological data of patients affected by nocardiosis and treated at the university hospitals of Marseille between 2004 and 2014 were analyzed retrospectively. Results: The cases of 34 patients infected by Nocardia spp during this period were analyzed. The main underlying conditions were transplantation (n = 15), malignancy (n = 9), cystic fibrosis (n = 4), and immune disease (n = 3); no immunodeficiency condition was observed for three patients. No case of AIDS was observed. At diagnosis, 61.8% had received steroids for over 3 months. Four clinical presentations were identified, depending on the underlying condition: the disseminated form (50.0%) and the visceral isolated form (26.5%) in severely immunocompromised patients, the bronchial form (14.7%) in patients with chronic lung disease, and the cutaneous isolated form (8.8%) in immunocompetent patients. Nocardia farcinica was the main species identified (26.5%). Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole was prescribed in 68.0% of patients, and 38.0% underwent surgery. Mortality was 11.7%, and the patients who died had disseminated or visceral nocardiosis. Conclusions: The clinical presentation and outcome of nocardiosis depend on the patient's initial immune status and underlying pulmonary condition. Severe forms were all iatrogenic, occurring after treatments altering the immune system. (C) 2017 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd on behalf of International Society for Infectious Diseases.

Abstract

Background. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) antiviral drug resistance constitutes an increasing challenge in transplantation. Foscarnet is usually proposed when resistance for ganciclovir is suspected, but its use is limited by its nephrotoxicity. Case Presentation. We report a case of multiresistant CMV disease in a kidney transplant recipient. Foscarnet was prescribed after ganciclovir treatment failure in a patient with two mutations in the UL97 viral gene. Foscarnet induced biopsy-proven kidney crystal precipitation that resulted in severe acute transplant failure and nephrotic syndrome. Despite a large decrease in immunosuppression, CMV disease was not controlled and a salvage therapy with Brincidofovir (BCV), which is an oral lipid conjugate of cidofovir with limited nephrotoxicity, was attempted. Clinical and virological remission was observed after a 21-day course of BCV, despite mild and reversible liver toxicity. However, a new relapse could not be effectively cured by BCV due to a new mutation in the UL54 gene, which is known to confer resistance to cidofovir. A new course of foscarnet finally resulted in prolonged CMV remission. Herein, we present a review of foscarnet nephropathy cases in solid-organ transplanted patients. Conclusions. This unique case highlights the potential benefit of BCV use during resistant CMV infection, although mutations in the UL54 gene may limit its therapeutic efficacy. These findings need to be confirmed in clinical trials.

Abstract

International audience; BACKGROUND: Severe leptospirosis occurs mainly in a tropical environment and includes icterus, acute renal failure and hemorrhages. These bleedings, which are mainly a consequence of acute homeostatic disturbances, can also reveal simultaneous diseases. Coinfections with other tropical diseases have been previously reported during leptospirosis. To our knowledge, invasive amebiasis, which can induce gastrointestinal bleedings, has never been described in the course of severe leptospirosis. CASE PRESENTATION: In this report, we describe a case of a 60 year-old man living in Reunion Island (Indian Ocean, France) admitted to our intensive care unit for severe Leptospira interrogans serovar icterohaemorrhagiae infection with neurological, renal, liver and hematological involvement. Two lower gastrointestinal bleedings occurred 7 and 15 days after admission. The first episode was promoted by hemostatic disturbances while the second bleeding occurred during low-dose heparin therapy. Colonoscopy revealed a pseudo-tumoral inflammatory mass of the recto-sigmoid junction. Histological examination found trophozoites inside mucinous exudate suggestive of Entamoeba histolytica. Amoebic serology was strongly positive whereas careful detection of cysts or trophozoites on saline-wet mount was negative in three consecutive samples of stools. Amoxicillin followed by metronidazole therapy, combined with supportive care, led to an improvement in the clinical and biological patient's condition and endoscopic appearances. CONCLUSION: Clinicians should be aware that gastrointestinal bleeding during severe leptospirosis could not solely be the consequences of hemostatic disturbances. Careful endoscopic evaluation that may reveal curable coinfections should also be considered.

Abstract

International audience; BACKGROUND: Controlling alloimmune humoral response is a challenge in transplantation. Few studies have evaluated the impact of maintenance immunosuppression on blood humoral parameters. MATERIAL/METHODS: We performed a post-hoc analysis on 307 kidney transplant recipients included in a prospective randomized trial comparing tacrolimus/mycophenolate mofetil (Tac/MMF) vs. cyclosporine/azathioprine (CsA/AZA), both used with antithymocyte globulin induction and steroids. Humoral parameters were analyzed at D0, D15, and M12. RESULTS: IgG, IgA, and IgM levels decreased significantly as soon as D15 in both groups (-35%, -26%, and -35% respectively, vs. D0). At M12, although peripheral B-cell counts did not differ between the groups, Tac/MMF regimen was associated with lower IgG, IgA, and IgM levels than CsA/AZA (-5.9%, -14.6%, and -34%, respectively). Hypogammaglobulinemia at D15 was not associated with an increased risk of infections during the first year. The proportion of HLA-sensitized patients decreased in the Tac/MMF group (15.9% at D0 and 6.7% at M12, p=0.02) and remained stable in the CsA/AZA group (10.3% at D0 and 8.9% at M12, p=0.5). More patients sensitized at baseline became non-sensitized at M12 with Tac/MMF than with CsA/AZA. CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest humoral immunosuppression is better with Tac/MMF than with CsA/AZA during the first year of kidney transplantation.

Abstract

Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is an emerging cause of acute hepatitis in Europe, particularly in southern France, and HEV is a new causative agent of chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis in immunocompromised patients. However, the data regarding HEV infection after kidney transplantation are still scarce with respect to the clinical issues that have been raised, and no study has specifically focused on kidney transplant recipients. This study described the clinical features and outcomes of HEV infections in a cohort of kidney transplant recipients living in southeastern France. The epidemiological, clinical, and virological characteristics of HEV infections diagnosed by PCR over a 53-month period were retrospectively analyzed in a cohort of 1,350 kidney transplant recipients monitored at the Marseille University Hospital. Sixteen HEV infections were diagnosed, all of which were autochthonous and involved genotype 3 viruses (HEV-3). Chronic infections occurred in 80% of these patients and resolved in half of the cases after a median time of 39 months. The rate of HEV clearance was 54% after a decrease in the dose of immunosuppressants. One patient developed liver cirrhosis 14 months after infection and experienced acute rejection after a decrease in the dose of immunosuppressants. Autochthonous HEV-3 infections in kidney transplant recipients progress to chronicity in most cases and might be complicated by early liver cirrhosis. Chronic HEV infection can resolve following the reduction of immunosuppressive therapy, but ribavirin may be required if reduction of the immunosuppressant dose is not associated with HEV clearance or is inappropriate for the patient management.
