Creatinine Clearance Quantitative Trait Locus Clinical Trial
Official title:
Natural Course for Renal Function After Heart Transplantation
The outcome of heart transplantation has improved by years. The renal dysfunction is a major complication after heart transplantation.The natural course of renal function following orthotopic heart transplant is not clear in Taiwan. A retrospective study was conducted on patients who received a heart transplant at National Taiwan University Hospital between 1987 and 2015.
The investigators conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients who received a first
heart transplant at the NTUH(Taiwan) between 1987 and 2015 . Clinical data were obtained and
a retrospective chart review, and were collected up to 10 years .
Data was collected from medical records and the heart transplant electronic database
including: demographic parameters such as age and gender; etiology of heart failure; the
presence of any of the following comorbidities: history of smoking, diabetes, hypertension,
peripheral vascular disease and previous sternotomy; pre-transplant cholesterol levels; the
use of any of the following pretransplant hemodynamic support measures:intravenous
inotropes, intra-aortic balloon pump and ventricular assist device;creatinine levels;
listing status according to the UNOS classification; waiting time; heart ischemic
time;immunosuppression drug levels(cyclosporine,prograft or certican) and development of end
stage renal disease requiring onset of dialysis therapy.
Creatinine levels and GFRwere collected before transplantation and then the closest level to
every month after heart transplant.
The clinical outcomes of interest analyzed in this study included the development of
post-transplant end stage renal disease and death.
