    Effect of Post-Transplant Cardiac Angiographic Procedures on Post-Transplant Renal Function
    (2022) Keskin, Suzan; Ciftci, Orcun; Soy, Ebru Ayvazoglu; Muderrisoglu, Haldun; Haberal, Mehmet; 0000-0002-0993-9917; 0000-0002-3462-7632; 35918191; AAC-5566-2019; AAJ-8097-2021
    Background. Cardiac interventions often are performed before and after renal transplant for coronary artery disease. The aim of this study was to investigate whether post-transplant cardiac coronary procedures affect post-transplant renal function. Method. We retrospectively included renal transplant recipients who underwent renal transplant procedures at Baskent University between April 28, 1997 and January 20, 2020. We analyzed the effect of cardiac catheterization in renal transplant recipients between 6 and 12 months post-transplant with post-transplant renal function assessed by glomerular filtration rate (GFR). We compared the effect of the type of coronary intervention on GFR change in group 1, whereby group 1 was divided into 2 subgroups (coronary artery bypass grafting [CABG] and stenting). Group 1 included patients who underwent cardiac intervention, whereas group 2 included those who had not undergone cardiac intervention. Results. In all, 108 patients underwent coronary angiography; 45 (41.7%) had normal coronaries or minimal coronary artery disease (CAD); 37 (34.3%) underwent stent implantation; 26 (24.1%) underwent CABG. The mean post- transplantation GFR of all patients after cardiac catheterization was 84.26+25.91 (mL/min/1.73 m(2)). The final, after 12 months mean GFR of all patients was 69.55+27.05. The final GFR was significantly lower than the initial post-renal GFR value in patients who underwent cardiac intervention but not in non-intervened patients. Conclusion. Invasive cardiac revascularization procedures showed a negative effect on posttransplant renal function in renal transplant recipients. All renal transplant recipients who underwent cardiac intervention survived the intervention, and there was no mortality. The reason for this outcome was assumed to be because of the short follow-up period.

    The Effect of Renal Transplantation on Cardiac Functions
    (2020) Yilmaz, Kerem Can; Akgun, Arzu Neslihan; Keskin, Suzan; Ciftci, Orcun; Moray, Gokhan; Muderrisoglu, Haldun; Haberal, Mehmet; 0000-0002-3462-7632; 0000-0001-8926-9142; 33229768; AAJ-8097-2021; W-5233-2018; AAJ-1331-2021
    Chronic renal failure is a well-known risk factor for cardiovascular poor outcome. Despite advances in dialysis and renal transplantation, these patients still have high cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The aim of our study was to evaluate the changes in blood parameters and echocardiographic parameters of patients undergoing renal transplantation in our center. One hundred and eighty-three patients who underwent renal transplantation between September 2012 and January 2016 were included in the study. Pre- and postoperative hemoglobin values, lipid profiles, ejection fractions, presence of left ventricular hypertrophy, presence of diastolic dysfunction, and valve pathologies were retrospectively scanned. Data were obtained from all patients in terms of blood parameters, but we compared 92 patients' echocardiographic data because of lack of both pre- and postoperative echocardiography records. In our study, 124 patients (67.8%) were male, and the mean age was 42.6 +/- 14.4 years. Hemoglobin levels (11.2 +/- 1.98, 12.7 +/- 2.2 mg/dL, P <0.001) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) values (37.6 +/- 10.5, 46.6 +/- 13.6 mg/dL, P <0.001) were found to be different significantly. In echocardiographic evaluation, there was no difference between pre- and postoperative ejection fractions in 92 patients. However, patients with preoperative ejection fraction <50% had a significant increase in postoperative ejection fraction (40.1 +/- 6.2, 48.4% +/- 9.4%, P = 0.012). Renal transplantation can improve left ventricle ejection fraction in patients with basal ejection fraction less than 50% and also provide a significant increase in hemoglobin and HDL levels in all patients. This suggests that renal transplantation may reverse the process for dilated cardiomyopathy and may improve cardiac function in patients with low ejection fraction. However, transplantation should be performed as early as possible in these patients.
