Résumé

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) has occasionally been associated with lower peripheral white blood cell (WBC) counts. This study aimed to investigate the peripheral blood cell counts in a large cohort of kidney transplant recipients before and after kidney transplantation and its potential impact on post-transplant outcomes. This was a retrospective study with long-term follow-up data of 2090 patients who underwent a first kidney transplantation in the Leuven University Hospitals, of whom 392 had ADPKD. In total, 2090 patients who underwent a first kidney transplantation in the Leuven University Hospitals were included, of whom 392 had ADPKD. Both pre- and post-transplantation, ADPKD patients had significantly lower total WBC counts, and more specifically lower neutrophil, lymphocyte and eosinophil counts compared with the non-ADPKD patients. This observation was independent of potential confounders such as level of inflammation, smoking habit, vitamins and pre-transplant medication. Overall survival and kidney transplant survival were significantly better in ADPKD vs non-ADPKD transplant recipients and a longer time to first infection was observed. However, no association between blood cell counts and outcome differences was found. In conclusion, this large single-center study reports a strong and independent association between ADPKD and lower peripheral WBC counts both before and after kidney transplantation. Considering the role of inflammation in disease progression, further investigation into the role of WBC in ADPKD is needed.

Background UNASSIGNED
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) has occasionally been associated with lower peripheral white blood cell (WBC) counts. This study aimed to investigate the peripheral blood cell counts in a large cohort of kidney transplant recipients before and after kidney transplantation and its potential impact on post-transplant outcomes.
Methods UNASSIGNED
This was a retrospective study with long-term follow-up data of 2090 patients who underwent a first kidney transplantation in the Leuven University Hospitals, of whom 392 had ADPKD.
Results UNASSIGNED
In total, 2090 patients who underwent a first kidney transplantation in the Leuven University Hospitals were included, of whom 392 had ADPKD. Both pre- and post-transplantation, ADPKD patients had significantly lower total WBC counts, and more specifically lower neutrophil, lymphocyte and eosinophil counts compared with the non-ADPKD patients. This observation was independent of potential confounders such as level of inflammation, smoking habit, vitamins and pre-transplant medication. Overall survival and kidney transplant survival were significantly better in ADPKD vs non-ADPKD transplant recipients and a longer time to first infection was observed. However, no association between blood cell counts and outcome differences was found.
Conclusions UNASSIGNED
In conclusion, this large single-center study reports a strong and independent association between ADPKD and lower peripheral WBC counts both before and after kidney transplantation. Considering the role of inflammation in disease progression, further investigation into the role of WBC in ADPKD is needed.
