    IntroductionLong-term kidney transplantation (KT) results in patients with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF)-related amyloidosis are not well studied. This study reviewed the long-term survival outcomes of FMF patients who underwent KT. MethodsWe compared the outcomes of 31 patients who underwent (KT) for biopsy-proven amyloidosis secondary to FMF with 31 control patients (five with diabetes mellitus and 26 with nondiabetic kidney disease) undergoing KT between 1994 and 2021 at Baskent University Hospital. All data were recorded retrospectively from patients' files. Results: The median age (quartile deviationQD) at the time of KT in the FMF and control group were 31 (6.7) and 33 (11), respectively. The median follow-up period (QD) after KT was 108 (57) months in the FMF and 132 (72) months in the control group. In the FMF group, graft and patient survivals were 71% and 84% at 5 years and 45% and 48% at 10 years, respectively. In the control group, graft and patient survivals were 79% and 100% at 5 years and 63% and 71% at 10 years, respectively. Patient survival in the FMF group at 5 years was significantly lower than in the control group (p = .045). There was no statistically significant difference between the FMF and control groups in terms of graft and patient survival, and serum creatinine levels at 10 years. All patients were given triple immunosuppressive treatment with cyclosporine, mycophenolate mofetil, and prednisolone. Three patients received anakinra and one received canakinumab in addition to colchicine treatment. One FMF patient also underwent heart transplantation due to AA amyloidosis. Of the FMF patients, 11 died during follow-up. ConclusionWe have found that the long-term outcome of KT in patients with FMF amyloidosis is numerically worse but not statistically different from the control group. However, short- and long-term complications still need to be resolved.

    (2015) Pirat, Bahar; Bozbas, Huseyin; Simsek, Vahide; Sade, L. Elif; Sayin, Burak; Muderrisoglu, Haldun; Haberal, Mehmet; 0000-0002-9635-6313; 0000-0003-4576-8630; 0000-0003-3737-8595; 0000-0002-3462-7632; 0000-0001-8287-6572; 25894162; AAG-8233-2020; AAI-8897-2021; AAQ-7583-2021; AAJ-8097-2021; J-3707-2015
    Objectives: Velocity vector imaging allows quantitation of myocardial strain and strain rate from 2-dimensional images based on speckle tracking echocardiography. The aim of this study was to analyze the changes in myocardial strain and strain rate patterns in patients with end-stage renal disease and renal transplant recipients. Materials and Methods: We studied 33 patients with end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis (19 men; mean age, 36 +/- 8 y), 24 renal transplant recipients with functional grafts (21 men; mean age, 36 +/- 7 y) and 26 age- and sex-matched control subjects. Longitudinal peak systolic strain and strain rate for basal, mid, and apical segments of the left ventricular wall were determined by velocity vector imaging from apical 4- and 2-chamber views. The average longitudinal strain and strain rate for the left ventricle were noted. From short-axis views at the level of papillary muscles, average circumferential, and radial strain, and strain rate were assessed. Results: Mean heart rate and systolic and diastolic blood pressure during imaging were similar between the groups. Longitudinal peak systolic strain and strain rate at basal and mid-segments of the lateral wall were significantly higher in renal transplant recipients and control groups than end-stage renal disease patients. Average longitudinal systolic strain from the 4-chamber view was highest in control subjects (-14.5% +/- 2.9%) and was higher in renal transplant recipients (-12.5% +/- 3.0%) than end-stage renal disease patients (-10.2% +/- 1.6%; P <= .001). Radial and circumferential strain and strain rate at the level of the papillary muscle were lower in patients with end-stage renal disease than other groups. Conclusions: Differences in myocardial function in patients with end-stage renal disease, renal transplant recipients, and normal controls can be quantified by strain imaging. Myocardial function is improved in renal transplant recipients compared with end-stage renal disease patients.

    Long-Term Follow-up of Over 600 Living Related Kidney Donors: Single-Center Experience
    (2022) Sayin, Burak; Akdur, Aydincan; Karakaya, Emre; Soy, Ebru H. Ayvazoglu; Haberal, Mehmet; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4879-7974; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3462-7632; 35384802; AAD-5466-2021; AAJ-8097-2021
    Objectives: Kidney transplant is the treatment of choice in patients with end-stage renal disease because it offers improved survival and better quality of life. Although most epidemiologic studies have suggested that living kidney donors have a minimal lifetime risk of developing end-stage renal disease, long-term complications and physiologic and psychologic sequelae resulting from donation remain unclear. Here, we examined the long-term results of living-related kidney donors who donated kidneys at the Baskent University Ankara Hospital over the past 25 years. Materials and Methods: We were able to examine 607 kidney transplant donors (mean age of 52.03 +/- 11.54 years) who were seen at our center from 1986 to 2021 and who agreed to a general health evaluation. Collected data included donor age, sex, blood type, body mass index, duration after donation, blood pressure measurements, biochemical parameters, abdominal ultrasonograph for size, structure, and renal blood flow of the solitary kidney, comorbid conditions, chronic drug use, and surgical procedures after donation. Results: Mean time after donation was 10.4 +/- 3.2 years. Twenty-four donors (3.9%) were diagnosed with diabetes and 21 (3.4%) with thyroid disease, 64 (10.5%) developed hypertension, and 48 (8.8%) developed atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Obesity was found to be an increasing problem in our donor population, with 174 (28.6%) developing mild to moderate obesity (body mass index >25 kg/m2). Older age, obesity, smoking, and hyperlipidemia were found to be the major and independent risk factors of both hypertension and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in donors. None of our donors developed endstage renal disease. Conclusions: Obesity and hypertension were the most common comorbidities that developed in our kidney donor population. Our principle is to avoid unrelated and nondirected donors because of the possible long-term complications. Unrelated donors may be desperate if a family member needs donation in the future.

    Sensitization Status of Patients on the Deceased Donor Kidney Transplant Waiting List: A Single-Center Experience
    (2022) Erdogmus, Siyar; Celebi, Zeynep Kendi; Turgut, Didem; Sayin, Burak; Ozdemir, Fatma Nurhan; Colak, Turan; Haberal, Mehmet; 0000-0002-3462-7632; AAJ-8097-2021
    Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the features of patients on the deceased donor kidney transplant waiting list and risk factors associated with sensitization that affect panel reactive antibody status in our center. Methods: Patients' data were collected retrospectively. Panel reactive antibody screening and definition tests were studied for class I (A, B, and C) and class II (DR, DP, DQ) antigens with Luminex every 6 months. Patients with panel reactive antibody >5% and antibody strength >1000 median fluorescence intensity were considered panel reactive antibody-positive. Based on the panel reactive antibody status, the patients were divided into 2 groups: the panel reactive antibody-positive group and -negative group. Results: A total of 338 patients (60% male, mean age: 52.6 +/- 14.6 years) were included in the analysis. Panel reactive antibody positivity was detected in 117 (34.6) patients on the waiting list. Compared with the panel reactive antibody-negative patient group, the panel reactive antibody-positive patient group had higher rate of women and lower age (P <.001 and P <.001, respectively). The patients in the panel reactive antibody-positive group also had longer dialysis vintage (P =.027), higher rate of blood transfusion history (P <.001), organ transplant (P <.001), and higher number of blood transfusion (P <.001). Female gender (odd ratio:4.094, 95% CI:2.275-7.368, P <.001), history of blood transfusion (odds ratio:2.027, 95% CI:1.131-3.633, P =.018), and organ transplant (odds ratio:16.894, 95% CI:7.212-39.578, P <.001) were independent risk factors associated with panel reactive antibody positivity. Conclusion: Updates of the organ allocation system to consider sensitized patients and new strategies to expand the donor pool and donation rates are needed in Turkiye.

    Over 5 Years of Excellent Graft Kidney Function Determinants: Baskent University Experience
    (2019) Sayin, Burak; Ozdemir, Aydan; Soy, Ebru H. Ayvazoglu; Kirnap, Mahir; Akdur, Aydincan; Moray, Gokhan; Haberal, Mehmet; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8287-6572; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0993-9917; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8726-3369; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2498-7287; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3462-7632; 30777527; J-3707-2015; ABH-7372-2020; AAC-5566-2019; AAH-9198-2019; AAA-3068-2021; AAE-1041-2021; AAJ-8097-2021
    Objectives: Kidney graft survival may be evaluated according to the duration of time with a functioning graft. Survival alone may not satisfy expectations of a successful kidney transplant if the graft kidney does not show excellent function. In our study, we analyzed the characteristics of kidney transplant recipients who showed excellent graft function after 5 to 10 years of follow-up in an aim to improve graft survival and to ensure the best kidney function in the long term. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively evaluated graft function and demographic characteristics of 288 patients who underwent kidney transplant between January 2008 and December 2012. Results: We found that 149 patients (51.7%) had excellent graft function, 88 patients (30.5%) had a functioning graft with a glomerular filtration rate lower than 60 mL/min and/or had signs of graft kidney dysfunction, and 45 patients (15.6%) experienced graft loss. Of 288 kidney transplant recipients enrolled in the study, most were male (56%), and mean age was 30.47 +/- 14.36 years at time of transplant. Median time on dialysis was 39.09 +/- 59.30 months. The overall graft survival rate in the patient group was 82.2% after 5 to 10 years of follow-up. Multivariate analysis showed that excellent graft survival predictors beyond 5 years were negative panel reactive antibody levels, lower donor age, shorter duration on dialysis, absence of acute rejection episodes, 3 or less HLA mismatches, lower immunosuppressive levels, and lower recipient age at transplant. Conclusions: Lower panel reactive antibody levels, lower donor age, shorter duration on dialysis, absence of acute rejection episodes, 3 or less HLA mismatches, and lower recipient age at transplant are major determinants of excellent graft survival in our kidney transplant recipients.
