Abstract
Background: Dyslipidemia can lead to cardiovascular complications and atherosclerosis, significantly reducing the survival of kidney transplant patients. The use of immunosuppressive drugs may affect blood lipid profile after kidney transplantation.
Objectives: To identify a proportion of kidney recipients presenting dyslipidemia and the impact of immunosuppressive drugs on their blood lipid profile. Patients and Methods: A cross - sectional, combined retrospective and prospective study conducted on 400 stable kidney recipients aged 18 years and older, both genders, followed up at the Department of Kidney Diseases and Dialysis, Viet Duc Hospital from 1/2021 to 12/2021. Patients who had combined organ transplantation, and graft failure were excluded from analysis. The values of lipid panel including Total Cholesterol (TC), Triglyceride (TG), High Density Lipoprotein - Cholesterol (HDL - C), Low Density Lipoprotein - Cholesterol (LDC - C) and related information have been collected. Dyslipidemia was defined as any lipid parameter felt outside the reference ranges or if the patient was on lipid - lowering medication.
Results: The proportion of patients presenting with dyslipidemia was 84,0%, with an increase in LDL - C was 51,4%, with an increase in TG was 49,0%, with combined abnormality of 3 lipid parameters was 16,9% and with abnormality of 4 parameters was 2,0%. The use of calcineurin inhibitors, mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors increased the risk of dyslipidemia. Cyclosporin (CsA) increased the risk of dyslipidemia more than Tacrolimus (Tac) did. The risk of Mycophenolate (MPA), azathioprine (AZA) in causing dyslipidemia was not found.
Conclusions: Dyslipidemia was very common in kidney recipients and was influenced by immunosuppressive drugs. Individualization of immunosuppressive drugs for long - term use in kidney recipients should be considered
